This task force has the goal of producing guidance for different stakeholders to interpret and implement the Software Citation Principles.
Tasks

I would like to volunteer for this - Catherine
Interested!
Hi I can help here from TIB / Generation R and relating these too Open Science MOOC and to learning resources
+1
+1 (though spread across 2 task forces)
+1 (but I suspect I'll be on the publisher one too)
Written some simplistic intro guidance for both developers and researchers who are perhaps new to the whole topic, at https://cite.research-software.org/. Perhaps can be made useful in the context of this task force?
Contribute to research authors and for software makers
I'm sure there will be some ESIP participation in this, producer and publisher
Over in #48 (comment) we learned that BibLaTeX/biber supports 90% of the SCPs already. I wasn't in the June 5th meeting, I apologise, but I'd like to suggest that we more urgently need some pull/merge requests / patches against the style files of software-focussed journals. I'm guessing that those might have both the interest to distinguish software citations from papers, as well as authors who would particularly care about that.
I have the JSS TeX sources on my hard-drive for example, but I do not know how to adjust existing styles to actually render a software citation as for example Wolfram suggested: https://doi.org/10.5446/35357#t=16:15,16:41
His self-contained example worked fine :-) If someone wants to help adjust existing styles based on a dedicated software citation style, please let me know.
Please include me!
Also worth reading from @katrinleinweber: Concrete Advice for FAIR Software
And there is a video with @katrinleinweber posted at the bottom on the article, comparing and contrasting citation options https://doi.org/10.5446/35351 (thats a better link)
Hi All,
could you indicate in this Doodle which time is best for the first call for this task force?
I'm interested!

@mingfangwu I've suggested an second regular timeslot as well - let me know if this works for you.
Closing to clean-up issues. This guidance has now been completed in the form of checklists and published.
