Consider adding a CITATION.cff file

Apparently, without publishing an paper, there's not a way to generate a DOI for software on bitbucket? You can do it for repos on github though... :(

Am I overlooking something WRT getting application DOI's @lance_parsons ? (See command above.)

[Lance Parsons]

I haven't looked into this terribly deeply, but I don't see why you couldn't get one from Zenodo, figshare, or Dataverse. For sure, it's simpler for GitHub repos, you'd have to carefully upload the source of the revision you want to preserve "manually". Of course, a bioArXiv article or something in The Journal of Open Source Software would also get you a DOI (as well as a place to put some publication text).

[Robert Leach]

Yeah, I was just noticing in the readme that we already have DOI for alpha 3. I clicked the zenodo link. I'll figure it out.
