Good Enough Practices #64

Thanks @ewallace, this lesson idea seems very appropriate for The Carpentries! You should have received an invitation to join the carpentries-incubator organization. After you've accepted that, you can transfer the repository over to the Incubator and continue developing the lesson here. I will set the relevant topics on the repository, to make sure that it appears on our Community Developed Lessons page. I've also invited the collaborators you mentioned, so they should all be able to join the team I created for maintainers of this lesson. Please ping me here if you have any questions or if something doesn't seem to be working, and let me know if/when the repository transfer has been completed. |
Thanks @tobyhodges. Our grant to work on this has just started. We have added @aromanowski, @tzielins, to the team. We will work on transferring the repo to the incubator soon and map out a development plan. |
Excellent. Thanks for the update, @ewallace! Please post a link here when the transfer is done, and I will close the issue. |
Hi. Given we had only really made a "shell" repository using the carpentries lesson template back in October 2020, we are wondering if it is more sensible to start a brand new repo from the current lesson template, at carpentries-incubator/good-enough-practices? @tobyhodges it would be good to get your opinion on this? Or @gperu will follow-up with the team. |
@tobyhodges sorry we've been slow here. Would your team be able to initialize a new repository using current Carpentries template, at /carpentries-incubator/good-enough-practices? Then we can start to develop and add content there, and delete the previous placeholder repo. Thanks! |
Hey @ewallace Sorry I missed that you asked me a question in your last reply. I have created the repository at https://github.com/carpentries-incubator/good-enough-practices and granted you and the Maintainer team access. I will close this issue now that the repo has been set up, but please feel free to post back here if you have any further questions. Finally, here is some info for you and your collaborators about how you can stay in touch with The Carpentries curriculum community: you may find it useful to join the |
Magnificent, thanks. We will get started here then. |
Good Enough Practices in Scientific Computing. It is the 3 hour carpentries format version of Good Enough Practices in Scientific Computing: "a set of good computing practices that every researcher can adopt, regardless of their current level of computational skill". It is absolutely entry level - if you like, material to motivate learners to attend their first skills-focused carpentries workshop. We have already delivered a version of this as a workshop to new PhD students in Edinburgh, where it has been well received. In 3 hours you can mostly cover motivation and organisation, and encourage learners to share stories and experiences of why the advocated approaches are needed. We have had feedback when teaching software carpentry git novice that some learners didn't quite understand what git was for. The proposed lesson offers that missing ingredient, and so could be offered in a package before the git workshop.
There's a powerpoint slideshow version. This has discussion points and prompts indicated, that can be adapted into discussions for the carpentries lesson template.
Yes.
We have created a carpentries lesson template repository at /edcarp/good-enough-practices. As I write, that is an empty placeholder, but it is where we will build the lesson.
N/A
Yes.
We have a team of volunteers from Edinburgh Carpentries: @ewallace, @ppxasjsm, @JenDaub, @npch, @davemckain, @mhagdorn, @Lucia-Michielin.
We discussed this lesson idea on twitter with @tracykteal and @lexnederbragt, who seemed enthusiastic.
We are writing a grant application in Edinburgh that would involve more material being developed for submission to Carpentries incubator, so we should talk about that elsewhere.
