ATLAS review - Atlas Hub #9

Closed jesusff closed 3 years ago

jesusff commented 3 years ago

The "Virtual Workspace: The Atlas Hub" section in the root README file points to the climate4R GitHub repository to start working with it, but this seems a dead end. No mention of the Atlas Hub is found by following the link provided (a climate4R Hub is mentioned, but no access information is provided). I think that, even if the hub relies on climate4R, a direct link should be added to this section of the README file.

The Atlas Hub is a great idea for a fast start in working with the data, scripts and notebooks. It seems just an example of the more general climate4R Hub. The contents of the github Atlas repository can be found under shared/github/ATLAS. No specific mention to the Atlas Hub is found when one arrives at the home directory, though. I would suggest to add a README file to guide the user through the Hub contents. A direct link (e.g. github-IPCC-WG1-Atlas -> shared/github/ATLAS) would also be helpful to easily arrive at the github Atlas directory structure.

Also, the contents of the shared/github/ATLAS must be a frozen version (a given commit) of the github Atlas repository. Is it currently commit #73961c4 tag:v1.6-review? The new climate4R hub root README file should make clear which Atlas github code version is available for use in the hub.

The Atlas Hub has been finally replaced by binder as explained now in the main README. Binder provides a readily-accesible environment to run all the scripts and notebooks, which are loaded from the latest version available in this github repository.
