# Coordinating scientific software: a call for change in the research software enterprise
Read the document online: [Coordinating scientific software](https://www.authorea.com/users/5207/articles/9910/_show_article)
We are missing many opportunities for scientific advance due to a lack of coordination between scientists and software developers, and computer scientists. This is a call for action to change that situation. We plan to spend the next month in community editing mode to produce a [call for action](https://www.authorea.com/users/5207/articles/9910/_show_article) that we as a community support, and then we plan to call for signatories to that call to guage support.
We welcome comments and proposed revisions. The document can be edited in one of two ways, described below.
## Reading/Commenting via Authorea
The easiest place to read and comment on this document is via [Authorea](https://www.authorea.com/users/5207/articles/9910/_show_article). Authorea shows an integrated view of the whole document, and allows people to comment directly inline.
## Editing via GitHub
The document is written in sections in [Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics) format. There is one `.md` file for each section. We welcome proposed changes to any section via a GitHub [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests).
## Signatories to the call for action
We welcome additional signers. If you would like to be listed as a signatory on the document, either place a comment in the signatures section on Authorea, or submit a pull request on the signature markdown file with your proposed change. As we continue to edit the document, we will be collecting new signatories. When the draft goes into final review, we will make a last call for all signatories to review the document, at which point they can choose to either leave their name as a signatory or remove it.
## Planned schedule

- Nov 03, 2014: Final draft announced, call for signatories
- Nov 17, 2014: Presentation and discussion at [WSSSPE2](http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/wssspe2/)
