eCobidas: because methods writing is too important (and boring) to let humans do it!

Project collaborators: Many ! And hopefully even more after you join ! All contributors are listed on the repository HERE and in this spreadsheet
I try to keep the spreadsheet up to date at every event and I plan to use it to automate making a longer “Contributors” page for the repository.

Project Description: The main aim of this project is to improve reporting methods and results in neuroimaging (f/MRI, i/EEG, MEG, PET…) in order to increase transparency and reproducibility.
We want to do this by developing a set webapps to run checklists:
- based on best practices guidelines and recommendation of a field
- that are both easy and practical to use,
- that provides a machine readable summary of an experiment and its analysis
- that can then automatically generate parts of the methods section.
Data to use: No data will be used.

Goals for Brainhack Global 2020:
Good first issues:
Several “good first issues” here but I would like to focus on:
- Making sure the documenation is understandable and constitute good on-board and How-To materieal
- Create some prototype script / toy example that can take the output of the app and generate a method section
NOTE : I created empty issued where I want to describe better the goals of those 2 issues.
Skills:
The project has many moving parts so there is a certain level of flexibility in terms of skills needed:
- a certain love handling and tidying up spreadsheets: the source of the project starts in several spreadsheets that are then read by a python script to create the questions for the webApp
Communication channels:
Project labels
- I added all of the labels I want associated to my project
Project Submission
Submission checklist
Once the issue is submitted, please check items in this list as you add under ‘Additional project info’
Link to your project: could be a code repository, a shared document, etc.
Goals for Brainhack Global 2020: describe what you want to achieve during this brainhack.
Flesh out at least 2 “good first issues”: those are tasks that do not require any prior knowledge about your project, could be defined as issues in a GitHub repository, or in a shared document.
Skills: list skills that would be particularly suitable for your project. We ask you to include at least one non-coding skill. Use the issue labels for this purpose.
Optionally, you can also include information about:
Number of participants required.
Twitter-size summary of your project pitch.
Provide an image of your project for the Brainhack Global 2020 website.
I need to work on a better one than that (that could be part of this project actually), but here you go: Image:
We would like to think about how you will credit and onboard new members to your project. If you’d like to share your thoughts with future project participants, you can include information about:
Specify how you will acknowledge contributions (e.g. listing members on a contributing page).
Provide links to onboarding documents if you have some: the documentation is the closest thing I have to an onboarding document at the moment - https://remi-gau.github.io/eCobidas/
