<div dir="ltr"><div>I just want to respond to Cameron's question about the gallery. I don't think it should have to be in a published paper, but I would like it to highlight as much of yt's analysis functionality as possible. There is often the temptation too fill it with a bunch of gorgeous renders, which are really impressive, but don't really give anyone the impression that yt is used for quantitative analysis. The only real bar I was hoping for submissions is that they be something that was used in some sort of professional context. This could be a paper, but also a talk, press release, outreach material, or anything that was actual used for a purpose other than just making something that's pretty. In that sense, the gallery is basically a place to show off the niche that yt is serving in the real world. Maybe this could even include embedded movies. Would that be possible?<br>

<br>
I've updated based on, I think, all of the suggestions (except the<br>
facebook button, which somebody else needs to get the code for and<br>
send me) and updated both the deployment and the PR. Nathan fixed the<br>
images on the carousel, and I can't take credit for that. :)<br>
<br>
Any other feedback?<br>
