Collaborative Development
These tools can streamline the integration of photographic techniques to identify individual animals with other multiple multimedia sampling platforms. However, we acknowledge there is room for improvement. We encourage further development of these tools collectively by making all the code entirely open and ready to be edited. If you would like to contribute to the further development of these tools, feel free to fork the repository. Contributors may need to set a free Bitbucket account. To become a formal collaborator, please email us and we will grant you reading, writing and administrative access to the repository.
