My 2p: going to an off-ecosystem rarely used tool because of a feature you like
that is indeed better, rather than sticking with a slightly worse but well used
tool that is at the centre of a large user community is almost never right.

I’d be keen to use Slack if this were made efficient.
This would be especially good if it could be used to create a persistent forum
of course alumni.

Agree with Stephen. For scientists interested in reproducible research
best practice, I would recommend teaching use of Figshare for images, as
this provides DoIs and a better degree of archival persistence.
Markdown image format  will display the image in Github

Hi all,
So, here in UCL Research IT, we’ve got a growing pipeline of future
research programming collaborations, both free and paid, both research
council funded and paid consulting,
and both already won and waiting for peer review.
Our ability to manage all of this is scaling beyond simple
One other quick point: for generating XML, I would recommend against using
ETree or lxml: instead, a templating engine such as Jinja or Mako is more
fluent and easier. (I think, YMMV.)
