requesting NESCent support for research or products #12

NESCent supports its working groups by entertaining requests for additional funds to support specific projects. Hilmar indicates there is a potential for a student to work on a project. A student could be used for data entry, for instance.

The data group will consider (at its next telecon) asking for a student to complete some of its work. Perhaps we should bring Jonathon in on that.

However, I would like to mention that there are other things that we could propose, like producing instructional materials such as screencasts.

There are still quite a few github and twitter handles to be filled in, and it's (I expect) for someone who didn't participate in the hackathons, work for another 6 hours, could be more, to do the googling etc. needed to fill these out.

If I can do this, then so can someone else who didn't participate in the hackathons, I suggest we request NESCent funds to pay for a student to do this for us.

As suggested above, I recommend we aim to improve the quality/accuracy of this data by having the input data reviewed by one of the LT, and additionally by emailing all participants to request they confirm/correct the data, or provide data we couldn't find.

The data group discussed this today and we decided against this, due to a combination of factors, namely that time is running out (for NESCent), we'd like to focus on the manuscript, and we don't really have a project ready to go for this.
