This package maintains a set of SDSS web pages, applications, or dashboards built with
the Solara package. These applets are designed to be integrated
with the SDSS Zora and Valis applications. While they can be run indepedently with the solara server, they may not function fully in their capacity.
It is recommended to set this package up within a virtual environment, like pyenv or conda.

We love contributions! sdss_solara is open source, built on open source, and we'd love to have you hang out in our community.
Imposter syndrome disclaimer: We want your help. No, really.
There may be a little voice inside your head that is telling you that you're not ready to be an open source contributor; that your skills aren't nearly good enough to contribute. What could you possibly offer a project like this one?
We assure you - the little voice in your head is wrong. If you can write code at all, you can contribute code to open source. Contributing to open source projects is a fantastic way to advance one's coding skills. Writing perfect code isn't the measure of a good developer (that would disqualify all of us!); it's trying to create something, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes. That's how we all improve, and we are happy to help others learn.
Being an open source contributor doesn't just mean writing code, either. You can help out by writing documentation, tests, or even giving feedback about the project (and yes - that includes giving feedback about the contribution process). Some of these contributions may be the most valuable to the project as a whole, because you're coming to the project with fresh eyes, so you can see the errors and assumptions that seasoned contributors have glossed over.
Note: This disclaimer was originally written by Adrienne Lowe for a PyCon talk, and was adapted by sdss_solara based on its use in the README file for the MetPy project.
