This meta-repository is meant to help with navigation of the repositories within this organization account. To group similar repositories together we make extensive use of GitHub "topics" and try to use shared repository name components. Both of these--where applicable--are described below in the following sections.
While the description below includes the primary groups of repositories, there are some topics that are in use that are not described. These include documentation, climhydro, eml-metadata, and lter-site-specific. There is also an inactive topic that we recommend adding to repositories without activity in the last 5 years (or so).
