While TeSS was originally developed to serve as the training portal for ELIXIR, it endeavours to be a generic training platform that can be easily customized and re-used in other communities. TeSS' code and documentation are freely available under a permissive BSD 3-Clause open license. This means that you may use them outside of ELIXIR, imposing minimal restrictions on their use and distribution. However, even if you create your own version/fork of TeSS, please consider contributing your changes back to the main TeSS codebase. TeSS Club If you are interested in TeSS or contributing to it, you may also want to join the TeSS Club an open biweekly meeting to discuss the direction of TeSS development. Before you begin If you plan on making a change to TeSS' code or documentation, it's a good idea to open an issue, or comment on an existing issue to explain and discuss why. This makes the TeSS contributors and members of the community aware of what activities are taking place, and lets them offer insight and advice.
