This documentation purpose is twofold.

#. First, to present **best practices** related to software development in contexts that are highly constrained in terms of human, material and financial resources.
   As a result, these considerations may prove particularly useful for the creation and improvement of software by, and for, public research.
   These could help them achieving a form of :ref:`sustainability`.
#. Second, to present :ref:`software projects <projects>` embodying these good practices, so that the reader can see concrete examples of how these practices manifest in a **research ecosystem**.
