* Maybe ask people if there are tools that we could put into PlasmaPy that would help them with a paper
    * Tools to plot experimental stuff?
    * Creating simulated data from 3D simulation volumes (spacecraft flying through a simulation)?
    * Simulated diagnostic, as in fusion experiments.  How does you
    * For next year?  Need to get simulation interfaces working. Could be a NASA HDEE proposal.
* How to cite `plasmapy`
    * Two different things to cite the software and the project paper
    * users should cite the software version they used for the paper
    * How do we communicate the citation info?
        * `plasmapy.__citation__`
        * A place on the [PlasmaPy website](https://docs.plasmapy.org/en/stable/about/citation.html)
* Possible theme for next year "Building citations"
    * Building and promoting the foundation to get user to cite `plasmapy`
    * The following years is where the citation will actually start rolling in
