[INF] Generalisable notebook repository template

acocac opened this issue · comments

Feature Request

The current template of notebook repository in the Environmental-DS-Book only supports conda python-based environments. This limits potential contributions with other environment settings or/and programming languages. It would be interesting that EnvDS book connects scalable open-source developments across programming languages. For instance, there are some efforts to translate python-based xarray to Julia, see YAXArrays.jl.

Describe the solution you'd like

A single and well-documented template supporting jupyter notebooks in python, r, Julia, among others commonly used by Environmental Data Scientists.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Implement repo2docker-action which works with multiple programming languages.

Additional information

We've succesfully implemented and adapted a 2i2c template for supporting python, r, julia Jupyter notebooks
