STILT would not be possible without the strong community of developers behind it. This distribution contains a completely redesigned STILT wrapper and proposes a centralized, collaborative platform for documentation and future development. Model development in the form of feature enhancements, documentation updates, bug fixes, or simple suggestions from the community are welcome. Contribution guidelines can be found here.
