I put some comments/changes in. I think @albenson-usgs should take a look as well.
@albenson-usgs this is what the form looks like. Are there other pieces you might need for the first review of a dataset? |
I think this has what I would need but it would be good to add a place for the metadata (Matt maybe we should link to the MBON metadata page once we have it final?). I also want to bring @sformel-usgs into this. One thing I'm struggling with is that currently it feels to me like every time there is a dataset to review via GitHub and the bio_data_guide it's coming to me in different ways. I'm happy to use this form if this is the single method that people are going to use but I'm struggling with the variety of ways things come in for me to review. Does this solve that problem or is it just creating another new way? To illustrate what I'm talking about
It kind of feels like we are creating a new way each time and I don't think I can manage that. |
I agree that we need to center around one method. And that method should not be emails unless we want to create a public mailing list. I think that the new suggested method should be the one way going forward. The protocol for going through this process has not be cleanly documented, and I am hoping that this form will help fix that. I am imagining a series of markdown documents with checklists and an accompanying flow-chart for this purpose. Filling this form could be a step in a checklist. Note that this form still uses github issues as we have been; it just adds some structure to the information we ask for when people create an issue. |
resolve Mat's comments
I merged this PR and created an issue using it for the MBON SE FL eDNA data [ref]. This is what issues created using this template will look like. |
@7yl4r it still says "Datset" in the template. I tried looking at the commits to see if I could figure out where to fix it but I can't find it. Can you fix it? |
reported in #134. thanks @albenson-usgs !
We should encourage data managers to open issues here instead of emailing Abby about everything. Creating some issue templates might help make that seem more approachable. This PR creates a template for people wanting a second pair of eyes on their DwC alignment efforts.
You can test drive how this works on my fork: https://github.com/7yl4r/bio_data_guide/issues
Thanks to @sebastiandig for being a guinea pig and inspiring this idea.
This connects in with our ongoing "dataset management protocol" discussion, @MathewBiddle. Hopefully this insn't entirely in the wrong direction.
Additional thoughts:
should we have separate forms for:
