## Planned project

- [Surface data handling](https://github.com/orgs/nilearn/projects/6)
- ~~Get the PR#3473 in before the hackathon?~~
- Some example of use case

- First time contribution ideas:
- affiliation: see this comment https://github.com/nilearn/nilearn/pull/3754#issuecomment-1610760330
- break this into several small issues with the list of contribtutors to update in each to minimize merge conflicts
- license in python file from really old project: https://github.com/nilearn/nilearn/issues/3771
- nilearn fun facts?

### Other candidates(Low priority):

These projects were excluded due to one or more of the following reasons:
- key personnel not physically present at the hackathon
- lack of clarity in scope of the projects

- User guide (Alexis)
- Niivue integration
- There's a PR to implement
- Aim: replace plotly
- Not sure if niivue project
- Alexis and jerome will not be there

- computational bottlenecks

## notes:

- EMD : I know that nipreps is also planning to host their hackathon within the Brainhack. Should we specifically plan any projects to target collaborative / ecosystem projects ?
