How to Contribute Software to the CDS Tools 

First, please note the following requirements:

  1. Postings are to come from investigators, not commercial entities.
  2. Only postings of free/open resources are acceptable.
  3. The person posting the information takes full
    responsibility for the content/functionality of what is posted.
  4. All posts are first reviewed by the CDS board, to make sure they fulfill these requirements.

To begin the process, please send your proposal in an email to Michelle Smith. Be sure to specify what type of software you would like to post, its size, funding agency, as well as instructions on its use. The CDS Board will evaluate each proposal and decide whether the contribution should be hosted on the CDS website.

Once approved, you will receive further instructions to upload the software files.
