I'll be chatting with Daniel Falster around later in March (2018). Daniel is the author of the database baad, published in Ecology.

I plan to ask Daniel general questions about his experience building baad -- mostly from the software side of things. @teixeirak and @gonzalezeb, if you want me to ask him some questions from the scientific side of things, please list them in this issue.

Does this database contain any allometric equations or just data?

I'm not sure yet but I will review his work before chatting with him. I'll let you know.

This meeting didn't happen. What I was most interested in asking him we figured out already: What structure to use for the project? We decided to use the structure of an R package. I thanked Daniel and cancelled the meeting.
