Extra add-ons that may be useful for people using SLiM, but that are not part of the SLiM project itself.
This repository is for all sorts of extras associated with SLiM that others might find useful. That could include:
- user-defined Eidos functions that could be reused in new SLiM models
- full SLiM models that we don't want to include as recipes in the manual, but that might nevertheless be useful
- code for reading or analyzing SLiM output, or translating it into other file formats
- installation scripts and related information
Contributions to SLiM-Extras from SLiM users are welcome; if you have done something related to SLiM that you think others in the community might find useful, please consider contributing it here, either with a pull request on GitHub, or just by emailing us a submission.
Note: the slim-community organization at github.com/slim-community also acts as a host for SLiM-related content from the community. It is more of a host for whole repositories – self-contained projects, rather than just little throwaway user-defined functions, models that provide a simple example of an idea or technique, and minor extensions of material from the SLiM manual. But the line is fuzzy! If a contribution is big enough that it feels like it merits its own repository, rather than just being a file or two in a folder with other stuff, then perhaps it belongs in slim-community.
The code in the SLiM-Extras repository has been placed in the public domain without restriction. We request, however, that if you use this code you credit SLiM-Extras and provide a link to the SLiM-Extras repository at https://github.com/MesserLab/SLiM-Extras. Thank you.
SLiM is under active development, and our goal is to make it as broadly useful as possible. If you have feedback or feature requests, or if you are interested in contributing to SLiM, please contact Philipp Messer at [email protected]. Please note that Philipp is also looking for graduate students and postdocs.
