Hi everyone,
Thank you all for the feedback you've been giving on new templates for
workshop websites and lessons. The latest news is:
1. Participants in the TGAC instructor training workshop on Oct 22-23
gave us feedback on the explanatory blog posts, which has been added to
the bottom of
file:///Users/gwilson/s/site/_site/blog/2014/10/new-lesson-template-v2.html.
2. Trevor Bekolay turned the lesson template into a GitHub repository,
which is now at https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-template. It is
*not* ready for use - we need to write the script that checks formatting
- but tickets and pull requests are very welcome.
3. Inspired by that, I turned the workshop template into a GitHub
repository, which is now at
https://github.com/swcarpentry/workshop-template. Again, it is not
ready for use - the script that pulls stuff out of this to create a
workshop website has to be written, as does its self-test script - but
tickets and pull requests are welcome here too.
4. Trevor King is leading an effort to pull the existing novice/shell
lesson _and its history_ into a fresh repository so that we can estimate
the effort that will be needed to extract all the existing lessons
without losing track of who did what.
Finally, we often find that conversations are split across mailing list
threads, comments on blog posts, and GitHub issues. As a step toward
fixing this, I'd be grateful if someone would write a small program to
take a series of email messages and turn them into GitHub-friendly
Markdown (eliminating headers, signatures, etc.), so that when we move
something from a thread on this list to GitHub, we can take the
history. Similarly, I'd be grateful for a tool that would take comments
on a GitHub pull request and turn them into Disqus comments, so that
discussion that starts on a PR can be moved over to comments on a blog
post when it goes up. Neither is urgent (and in a well-ordered
universe, neither would be necessary), but if you have time on your hands...
Cheers,
Greg
