Hi Michael,

Sounds like a great idea. Just for reference, there are a number of big conda 
recipe collection/metapackage efforts that might be worth looking at for 
examples of tooling involved in creating and building recipes:

https://github.com/omnia-md/conda-recipes
https://github.com/bioconda/recipes
https://github.com/ioos/conda-recipes

I also maintain my company’s internal conda metapackage, so I’d be happy to 
help out if I can.

Josh

OK.  Two thumbs up means get started.

A repo in the SWC github org is probably where the swc-* metapackages belong.  
Please do make a repo for me.  For recipes I'm building out that's more general 
purpose (git for windows, nano), I'm planning on keeping them at conda-recipes.

Org is up https://anaconda.org/swc; I added you (jiffyclub) to the owners.

Link coming soon, over the next couple of days.

This sounds like a really neat idea, go for it! I'm interested in helping with 
the org. Do you want a repo in the SWC github org to store the package metadata?

Please let us know how it goes and link us to your instructions/materials when 
they are up.

Would anyone object to me creating an Anaconda.org organization for SWC?  I 
would like to build packages and put them there so that during setup, people 
can basically do:

(install miniconda)
conda install -c swc swc-python

where the -c swc would be the channel, and swc-python would be a metapackage 
that I'll create to pull in Python, nano, git, etc. as necessary - basically a 
one-stop shop for any platform.  There could be other metapackages, perhaps 
swc-python, swc-r, or whatever.  This runs parallel to the swc installer 
(https://github.com/swcarpentry/windows-installer), but might be simpler, since 
one could customize metapackages based on what kind of course was being taught.

If no one objects, I'd like to do this this weekend in preparation for my 
teaching this week.  I'm also happy to add other SWC folks to the organization 
to help with upkeep and to add stuff.  Just reply to me offline.

Let me know...
Mike
