The Future II

[Ismael-KG]

Following on from #26, which resulted in a very busy weekend, this issue tracks activities for The Timeline's sustainability. The below tasks should have their own "to-do list" issues raised to work on them.

• [x] GitHub.io site (see https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/creating-a-github-pages-site and @sgibson91's Blogging with Hugo and GitHub Pages).
• [ ] #140 : requires clear requirements, possibly integration with GitHub to track changes, and maybe setting Museum of The World as an ideal benchmark)
• [ ] Something better than GitHub. The branch-thing works for tracking changes alongside authors of changes. This is the only value I understand of GitHub. Unfortunately, GitHub has a language of its own; a natural language filled with jargon that makes no sense in any other language. I do not speak GitHub and do not expect potential contributors to learn GitHub. Google Docs and Microsoft Word are much more user-friendly. A History of Research Ethics would best be migrated to a site where people can join in by virtue of their speaking English (or whatever language The Timeline is translated to). This is the biggest task.
• [x] Issue templates for different contribution types (see Protocol 3).
• [x] Protocol 6 (?) on communications platforms (GitHub to track changes, GitHub.io site for accessible text-version of the timeline, Tiki-Toki for interactive visualisation, Zenodo for academic citation, Medium for series of related stories). #34
• [x] Protocol 7 (?) on citing/referencing The Timeline (see #25, #32).
• [x] Create a .cff file
• [x] #36
• [ ] #40
• [ ] #107 — one for @yochannah ! (As per comment below.)
• [ ] #45
• [ ] Change repo name to An Incomplete History of Research Ethics as per Twitter poll.
• [ ] Make sure all links are updated in line with the new name.

Can I suggest we add Protocol 9: Technical Implementation docs as a to-do for @yochannah...
