Hi Terri, I think I might have posted this before, but maybe on a different thread. There's a really simple way to integrate GitHub and Zenodo so that you can create new versions/releases automatically, and update DOIs as you do. It's really quite nice. We have a little instructional video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjsbBQYOOaE to help out with it, which might come in handy. Strongly recommend this path! You can also arrange your Zenodo releases into a 'Commmunity', so people have a single place to go to look for all your archived projects.
