| Abstract Scope |
For over a decade, the open-source and community-built Highly Extensible X-ray Diffraction Toolkit (HEXRD) has been providing a library of tools for researchers to perform high-quality data reconstructions on x-ray diffraction datasets across many modalities - with ongoing updates to improve the user interface, documentation, bug fixes, and computational efficiency. In response to the size of the current code base and growing demand to integrate more features and user-generated tools/workflows, HEXRD is being modularized into core and technique-specific utilities within the repository. In addition to making the code-base searchable and easier to navigate for the user, this structure enables code-contributors to engage with the code on the topics specific to their science/technique. This talk will cover the blueprint for the restructuring of HEXRD and phased roll-out plan. We will also cover the many ways researchers can engage with the codebase going forward - whether as a user or future contributor. |
