solidwastekampala 1.0.2 (2026-09-23)

The paper behind the data is now published: Katukiza et al. (2026), "Quantity and composition of domestic solid waste in Kampala City as influenced by socioeconomic factors", Frontiers in Environmental Science 14, doi:10.3389/fenvs.2026.1889921. The README cites it at the top with its BibTeX entry, and DESCRIPTION, the data documentation, the dictionary, CITATION.cff, and inst/CITATION now refer to the paper instead of the manuscript. CITATION.cff lists the paper under references.
Added a dot plot of waste per person by income level to the top of the README, replacing the boxplot in the example.
Added the article "Waste per person by income" with an interactive version of the chart (Observable Plot in a Quarto article).

Added Alex Y. Katukiza's ORCID iD, verified against the public registry, so all eight authors now carry one in DESCRIPTION, CITATION.cff, and inst/CITATION (#26).
Added the author ORCID iDs to the dataspice metadata. The creator id in dataspice.json and inst/extdata/metadata.json is now the ORCID URL, filled from DESCRIPTION by the new data-raw/dataspice.R script (#27).

Initial release.
Added the solidwastekampala dataset: quantity and composition of domestic solid waste for 103 households in Kampala City, with a full variable dictionary and CSV/XLSX exports (#17, #18).
Added package metadata, citation files, ORCID iDs for the authors, and Global Health Engineering, ETH Zurich as funder (#14, #16).
Confirmed all ORCID iDs with the main author and aligned the author order with the manuscript (#15, #24).
Added data documentation, an expanded README with a worked example, and the pkgdown website (#19, #20).
Added tests and the R-CMD-check GitHub Actions workflow (#21, #22).
