[Users] Inquiry about making a research thorn available for use in the Einstein Toolkit

[Roland Haas]

Hello Vinicius,

For a formal contribution to the Einstein Tookit there is:

https://einsteintoolkit.org/contribute.html

in the "How to Contribute New Software Components" section.

If you would like to advertise your thorn without including in the
official Einstein Toolkit release then you can send email to this list,
we also try and track public modules that are not (yet) part of the
Einstein Toolkit distribution in

https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Thorns_we_know_of

There's no specific coding style guide. We do include a clang-format
style file in

https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactus/src/master/.clang-format

which can be used with clang-format
(https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) to format code.

There is also a (separate and different) code style document that was
included in Cactus in the maintainers's guide:

https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactus/src/master/doc/MaintGuide.pdf

Yours,
Roland

> Dear Einstein Toolkit team,
> My name is Vinicius Ramos Rodrigues, and I am currently developing a
> research module (thorn) intended for use with the Einstein Toolkit in the
> context of numerical relativity research.
> The module is being designed as a processual stress-energy sector
> compatible with the Toolkit infrastructure, including coupling through
> TmunuBase and evolution with MoL/BSSN-based setups. My goal is to make this
> implementation available for research use and to ensure that it follows the
> most appropriate technical and community standards for the Einstein Toolkit
> ecosystem.
> I would like to ask for your guidance on the best path for doing this. In
> particular, I would appreciate advice on:
> whether there is a recommended procedure for sharing a new research thorn
> with the community,
> whether there are preferred coding, documentation, or testing requirements
> before such a thorn is made available,
> and whether contribution through a public repository or another review
> process would be the most suitable route.
> If useful, I can also provide a short technical summary of the module, its
> equations, intended use case, and current implementation status.
> Thank you very much for your time and for maintaining such an important
> resource for the numerical relativity community.
> Best regards,
> Vinicius Ramos Rodrigues
