Archaeologists were invited to to revisit and update older codebases, learn about each other&rsquo;s work, and reflect on how they make and maintain software as part of their research all while posting using the #DigiArchMaintainathon hashtag.</p> <p>Members of our special interest group assembled their collective expertise and produced <a href="https://sslarch.github.io/maintainathon/resources.html">a great set of practical guidelines</a> to support archaeologists during and after the event. For example, Lisa Steinmann provided instructions for how to write unit tests, Matteo Tomasini contributed a section on how to implement continuous integration, Clemens Schmidt presented guidance on how to make code more efficient, and I wrote about various mechanisms of project management and documentation.</p>https://sslarch.github.io/blog/260611_blog_test_entry-copy/Thu, 11 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://sslarch.github.io/blog/260611_blog_test_entry-copy/<p>The CAA special interest group for Scientific Scripting Languages in Archaeology now has a blog.
