Evaluate wfhub for best practices for research software registries

[stain]

From Nine Best Practices for Research Software Registries and Repositories: A Concise Guide:

• Provide a public scope statement
  https://workflowhub.eu/ says:

  WorkflowHub is a registry for describing, sharing and publishing scientific computational workflows. The registry supports any workflow in its native repository. WorkflowHub aims to facilitate discovery and re-use of workflows in an accessible and interoperable way. This is achieved through extensive use of open standards and tools, including Common Workflow Language (CWL), RO-Crate, BioSchemas and TRS, in accordance with the FAIR principle

• Provide guidance for users
  https://about.workflowhub.eu/ incl. new User Guide (Changing to new theme and new structure #32)
• Provide guidance to software contributors
  https://docs.seek4science.org/tech/contributing-to-seek.html
• Establish an authorship policy
  Not explicit
• Share your metadata schema
  https://workflowhub.eu/api https://about.workflowhub.eu/Workflow-RO-Crate/
• Stipulate conditions of use
  https://workflowhub.eu/home/terms
• State a privacy policy
  https://workflowhub.eu/home/privacy
• Provide a retention policy
  https://about.workflowhub.eu/About-WorkflowHub/ says:

  WorkflowHub has a sustainability plan that ensures the availability of its contributions and metadata up to and beyond 2026. If and when it reaches its end of service then the published contributions and metadata will be archived as RO-Crates and made available through a public repository, such as Zenodo, Figshare or another appropriate resource at that time. DOI registrations will in this case be updated to link to the archived deposits.

• Disclose your end-of-life policy
  (See above)

For examples, see https://scicodes.net/best-practices-for-software-registries-and-repositories/

I think we have most of these already, but may just need to link to our policies/schemas/docs, and perhaps make them more explicit here on these About pages and from the main hub.

Updated above and fixed the retention policy text on https://about.workflowhub.eu/About-WorkflowHub/ to include DOI.

we need Guidance to Software contributors - we mostly have that for SEEK but it needs to be explicit from WFHub. Then authorship (of software) policy, not sure we have that.

[CaroleGoble]

https://scicodes.net/best-practices-for-software-registries-and-repositories/ needs to be DOCUMENTED and ADVERTISED

Add links to https://docs.seek4science.org/tech/contributing-to-seek.html from https://about.workflowhub.eu/developer/ which needs to be updated.
