Hi everyone, I am your fellow list moderator. This is a reminder that posts in this forum should be kept clearly relevant and of broad value to the community of phylogenetics in R.
This applies especially to posts from entities offering training courses and resources. I recognize that modern data analytics covers a lot of ground, and thus there may be education or training resources that don’t necessarily have phylogenetics and R in their title. However, the onus is on the posting entity to make it clear in their description how the course or other resource is specifically relevant and of value for researchers doing phylogenetics in R. If anyone is considering advertising a training resource but isn’t sure whether it’s in scope or not, contact me (r-sig-phylo-ow...@r-project.org <mailto:r-sig-phylo-ow...@r-project.org>) first. Second, this list was conceived as and remains primarily a list for community discussion and knowledge exchange. Training is a perennial community need, and therefore relevant and valuable training course announcements were subsequently considered in scope. However, more recently course announcements have started to become the primary source of traffic: https://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-phylo@r-project.org/ If this continues, it runs a high risk of permanently altering the nature of this community list. I am therefore asking all course providers to limit and package their announcements such that (1) posts from any entity are at a frequency of no higher than twice a month, and (2) for any particular course, only *1* announcement is posted, i.e., no “last chance” or other follow-ups. Violators will be moderated, and repeat offenders will be removed. This being a community list, I’m open to and much appreciate feedback. For any feedback regarding rules for moderation, please consider that (1) I have been moderating this list for >10 years in my spare time; (2) any rules have to be easily enforceable (I believe that unenforced or inconsistently enforced rules are worse than no rules).
