Data Ignota: Feedback Welcome!

Mathieu Glachant

GitHub Is Where We Live Now

These feedback methods all require a Github account, which has the following advantages:

it keeps all of the feedback in one place, within the project itself,
it provides me with robust tools to organize, respond to, and implement changes based on that feedback,
it provides you with robust tools to manage replies and notifications, and
I can give you proper credit when I implement or fix something based on your feedback.

If you need a new account, try the instructions here.

General Conversations

Via the GitHub Discussions page, you can start or join conversations about whatever aspects of this project strikes your fancy. Keep it civil and follow our code of conduct is all I ask.

A good place to start is our Meet & Greet thread. Drop by and introduce yourself!

Requesting Changes

You can request changes and updates via the GitHub Issues page. When creating an new issue, you will be offered a choice of three templates:

Analysis or Data Request: Use this to suggest an idea for a new analysis, or to request a CSV file I’m not currently providing.
Clarification Request: Use this to request a clarification, when I’ve been less than clear, perhaps, or when you’d like me to explain something at longer length.
Typo Report: Use this to help me fix typos anywhere on the site.

When in doubt, feel free to create a generic issue or to start a new discussion instead.

What It Took to Get Here:

Add a Code of Conduct to the repo
Turn on GitHub Discussions
Add three templates to GitHub Issues
Branch the code
Rename index page to about to move that content while preserving change history
Write pithier content for new index page
Create and merge Pull Request back to main branch

Lessons Learned

`index` page must have `site:` in yaml header

The distill package will complain about there being no listing page for your blog posts until it finds the site: distill::distill_website key in the yaml of the index page.

`CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` now gets rendered

It didn’t before, and README.md still doesn’t. I added a rmarkdown yaml to it so that at least the text renders. Created this issue to track.

Corrections

If you see mistakes or want to suggest changes, please create an issue on the source repository.
