Thanks,

Going over checklist I wanted to see if there were docs?

  *   User guide or quickstart:
https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start  << correct, this link is connected to the QuickStart icon on the OSGeo CostalME
There is not a distinct user documentation or quickstart is there? <<  the quick start is shown in the link above, and the user documentation is available as a peer reviewed publication on Geoscientific Model Development (https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/10/2715/2017/) which is cited in the dedicated Wiki site (link shown below). The paper is the most detailed documentation to date and we are hoping that as part of the OSGeo mentoring we can populate the wiki site to make it more dynamic and collaborative.
You also link to:
https://earthwise.bgs.ac.uk/index.php/Category:Coastal_Modeling_Environment

  *   Checking headers, did you find anything? Was there an issue in the issue tracker where you checked the headers? << Is this a question for us, or a question for other OSGeo members? If it is for us, we have included the header shown here (https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme?tab=License-1-ov-file#coastalme-general) in to our source code. could you please explain what should we do to complete this task?

Let's see what other folks think and then make a motion to be voted on.
