Must've been a typo that got propagated everywhere. I fixed it at the ideas page (and pre-proposal form). Project should now be correctly called post-simulation analysis instead of post-analysis analysis

post

  • The post as is displays correctly and links seem to be ok. I checked with a local build (our INSTALL instructions for jekyll work)
  • It's not clear yet that we do not want genAI used for pre-proposal/proposal. Needs to be made clear.
    • I'll add something.
  • It would be nice to include the WESTPA and NM logos, too.

pre-proposal form

  • I added a "Did you use genAI (except for grammar, spelling, translation)" question to the pre-proposal form, given that there were no objections in the discord discussion.
  • We currently only include the MDA AI Policy in the form. Needs to be decided if WESTPA and MN should also be listed.
    • My opinion: yes
  • I locked the pre-proposal form for now. It needs to be unlocked fairly soon after the post goes live, given the deadline for pre-proposals.

@MDAnalysis/gsoc-mentors please have a look/sign-off on the post so that either @jennaswa or I can post it asap. At the latest, one of us will merge Friday.

- use same language as GSOC and distinguish from pre-proposal
- also updated wiki page so that links work

In short:
1. Agree to be bound by our [Code of Conduct](#code-of-conduct) (and the [WESTPA Code of Conduct](https://github.com/westpa/westpa/wiki/Code-of-Conduct) if you are applying for a WESTPA collaboration project [i.e., [Project 5]({{ site.github.wiki }}/GSoC-2026-Project-Ideas#project-5-dashboard-for-tracking-westpa-simulation-progress), [Project 6]({{ site.github.wiki}}/GSoC-2026-Project-Ideas#project-6-interface-for-post-simulation-analysis-crawling-of-westpa-simulations)])
2. Agree to be bound by our [AI policy](https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/blob/develop/AI_POLICY.md) (and [WESTPA's AI policy](https://github.com/westpa/westpa/blob/westpa2/AI_POLICY.md) or Molecular Node’s AI policy if you are applying for a collaboration project).
