Abstract

Science depends heavily on reliable and easy-to-use software packages, such as mathematical libraries or data analysis tools. Developing such packages requires a lot of effort, which is too often avoided due to the lack of funding or recognition. In order to reduce the efforts required to create sustainable software packages, we present a project skeleton that ensures the best software engineering practices from the start of a project, or serves as reference for existing projects.
