Notifying mailing lists when there's a new release (or a major request for comment)

[KirstieJane]

We released a new version v1.2.2 (#405) recently and in our recent steering group meeting we discussed curating a list of mailing lists to share this news! 🎊 🎉 ✨

Please comment below with suggestions of communities to contact.

General updates

This list will be extended with mailing lists / communities that would like to hear about a broad set of different updates to BIDS.

• Freesurfer
• FSL
• SPM
• OHBM (via their newsletter?)
• BIDS Discussion mailing list
• Update on the BIDS website

Specific update communities

This list will be extended with mailing lists / communities that would like to hear about specific updates to BIDS, eg MEG only, or genetics communities etc.

For electrophysiology I would like to communicate to the communities of FieldTrip, SPM (also for imaging, see above), MNE-Python, BrainStorm, EEGLAB.

• FieldTrip -- electrophysiology
• MNE-Python -- electrophysiology
• BrainStorm -- electrophysiology
• EEGLAB -- electrophysiology

General updates should also go to bids-discussion (i.e. the google group) and to the news section on the website.

@robertoostenveld - can you check the grouping for the ones you've suggested? I wonder if MNE-Python would want to hear about more general updates?

For MEG community also may be worth considering megcommunity@jiscmail.ac.uk

With "electrophysiology" I meant to refer to that part of the neuroscience community, not that part of the specification.

I.e. I did not mean that those lists would only be interested in updates limited to electrophys-specific aspects, the community on these electrophys-focussed lists should also be informed about general changes. A lot of researchers on these lists use a combination of neuroimaging methods (e.g. you don't do iEEG without MRI and CT).

for easier editing and additions I have created a google sheet for capturing this information - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16SAGK3zG93WM2EWuoZDcRIC7ygPc5b7PDNGpFyC3obA/edit#gid=0

Thanks Franklin! I'll add :)
