Template Details
This is a Jekyll blog site. The repository states its purpose is to test the Affiliates - Jekyll Blogging Theme for the OSOH (Open Science Office Hours) website. The README divides content into three categories: featured "articles" (actually Pages, displayed below the homepage hero section, corresponding to OSOH's main functional components such as the resource library and one-on-one support; the backend is placed in the _posts directory, filenames must start with yyyy-mm-dd-, the front matter must set Featured: yes, and given the current size, a maximum of 3 items is recommended); regular articles (news and events, displayed after featured articles; all content in _posts without Featured: yes falls into this category and can be moved to _posts/archive as needed; filenames must also start with a date, which is displayed on the homepage and article pages; Categories can be filled in the front matter for browsing by category; if Author is left blank, only the date is shown, otherwise it displays "By Author, Date"); and pages in the top/right navigation menu, with the backend located in the pages directory, though not all content in pages will appear in the navigation—this is configured by _data/menus.yml. The repository also includes LICENSE.txt under the MIT license.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not mean external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution of that version's code are permitted.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's MIT license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur separate charges.
- The featured content section is limited by the current layout size; it is recommended to include at most 3 items with Featured: yes, as exceeding this may affect the homepage display.
- Filenames in _posts must start with a yyyy-mm-dd- date prefix, or the content will not be displayed on the site.
- To remove a regular article, move it to the _posts/archive directory rather than deleting it directly.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Jekyll as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
