I'm not sure how to fix the build errors

VIRTUAL_ENV=$READTHEDOCS_VIRTUALENV_PATH poetry install
The Poetry configuration is invalid:

Thank you for writing this! Looks great. I just have a few small comments but nothing requiring changes.

I can look into the build error and try to figure that out.

LASP has a hard-earned, world-class reputation for creating valuable, high-quality
datasets. These datasets, often paid for by U.S. taxpayers, are our legacy.

These overlap a lot with the FAIR principles. I wonder if we should just reference FAIR here instead?

Agreed! Though the link is broken so I re-worded this section and linked to another related AGU position statement

I imagine an ideal world in which we have a lot of time and we could possibly create a guide for each of these! 🤞🏻

@vmartinez-cu Turns out the errors were due to some updates needed in pyproject.toml due to a new poetry version (see https://github.com/lasp/developer-guide/pull/44/files#diff-50c86b7ed8ac2cf95bd48334961bf0530cdc77b5a56f852c5c61b89d735fd711). I updated this branch and I think this is good to go now.
