Hi,

I am an astronomer from Argentina, and currently represent Argentina at the IVOA-exec committee.

I’ve started working on a paper about Open Development in Astronomy (see link below) using public open blockchain standard protocols and thinking about an affiliated package for astropy.

Any astropy devs interested in discussing and contributing with this would be very much welcome.

thanks for reading,

Hi, it would be easier if you could point to the overleaf link so that I can read the pdf version and don’t have to clone the repro and run latex myself just to see what this is about. You might also paste the abstract in here so that I can see immediately what this is for.
