Welcome to the central feedback repository for the EVERSE (European Virtual Institute for Research Software Excellence) tool suite. This space is dedicated to gathering insights, requirements, and technical reviews to ensure our tools meet the needs of the diverse research software community.
We are currently collecting feedback for the following core components:
| Tool | Description | Service | Repository |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSQKit | Research Software Quality Toolkit | View service | View Repo |
| Quality Dimensions and Indicators | List of Software Quality Dimensions and Indicators used in EVERSE | View service | View Repo |
| TechRadar | Visualizing the research software landscape | View Service | View Repo |
| QualityPipelines | CI/CD templates for quality assurance | View Repo | |
| DashVERSE | Analytics dashboard for the EVERSE ecosystem | View Repo | |
| ** EVERSE Training** | Educational resources for research software engineering | View Service |
We value input from both users (researchers, developers) and domain experts (community leads, RSE managers).
Please use our Issue Templates to ensure your feedback is routed correctly:
- 🐛 Bug Report: Encountered a technical problem? Let us know.
- 💡 Feature Request: Have a requirement for a new functionality?
- 🎓 Expert Community Review: Deep-dive technical or domain-specific assessments.
- 💬 General Remarks: Anything that doesn't fit the above.
We collect feedback at the GAM and during dedicated sessions. To add the outcome of such feedback rounds to the repository
- Navigate to the
/datadirectory. - Open a Pull Request to upload your export (PDF, CSV, or Markdown summary).

Here, you can also add "random feedback" that does not fit the issue format.
To keep the community informed on how their feedback is being used, we organize all input into a global dashboard:
👉 Kanban board will follow
We use labels to categorize feedback:
project:[tool-name]— Which tool the feedback belongs to.persona:expert— Insights from community experts.status:planned— Feedback that has been accepted into the roadmap.type:bug— Type of issue as indicated above.
