All online project documentation on Team Wikis, Registry Part Pages, and GitHub must be complete by October 27 at 11:59PM / 23:59 EDT. Behind the scenes, we have seen teams in previous years lose entire wikis due to last minute changes at the midnight deadline (11:59PM / 23:59 EDT). Look below for advice from iGEM Headquarters.
General Advice:
- NO EDITS WILL BE ALLOWED after the freeze, and no extensions will be granted (no exceptions!)
- It is not possible for two people to edit the same page at the same time; you may lose information if this happens, so you should be aware of what your teammates are up to.
- Due to the increased loads on our servers close to the deadline, users can experience delays. DO NOT leave your documentation to the last minute.
Wiki Advice:
- DO NOT leave your documentation to the last minute, and avoid making last minute tweaks to your wiki code (especially your css/formatting files).
- Review the wiki requirements; Failure to follow rules may prevent your team from winning medals or prizes.
- Review your Pages for Awards; Make sure alert boxes are deleted from the code, not just commented out.
Registry Advice:
- Document ALL part data on Registry Part Pages, not just on your team wiki. Judges will only evaluate part data on the Registry.
- DO NOT copy code from your wiki to the Registry at the last minute; Copying data from the wiki to Registry pages can generate errors. Write directly into registry pages, or leave extra time for re-formatting
GitHub Advice:
- You MUST have a GitHub repository within the igemsoftware2020 github page and you MUST have created a GitHub judging release of your software before the deadline
- We advise following the steps to transfer ownership by OCTOBER 24 to leave enough time for the Software Committee to assist you before the final deadline.
- Please review the detailed instructions here.
