Hi All,

I think we could think how we can best collaborate. Please feel free to comment below this post. Thank you!

Yes, I'm seeking some good tools to realize my model online.

I agree with you. It's the high time for us to consider this. At this stage, we have found a lot of visualization tools and some possible methods. And we have a clearer goal and subgoal. But, the most important thing is missing. Since we want to highlight our idea of collaboration, we need to have a tool for it. I have had a model and a tool written by C#. But it's hard to share it. My plan is to build a web app which is accessible to all of us. Anyone can make change on it. On that website, all the hypotheses are visualized and observations can be easily recorded and reviewed.

One option for realizing it, I find this: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/tutorial/gettingstarted

My plan is to build a website to visualize all the observation, and hypotheses. Anyone can insert new observation and hypotheses. Here is a design: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1SRgD51qHzxe6yxpoXjwsUVD2MQaDJStCOYCXehj_TLQ/edit?usp=sharing

I try to make it simple so it's feasible to implement in a short time. If you know someone who may be willing to implement it, please advertise it. Could be paid.

The other option is to use my tool. After you have created some hypotheses, it could generate a XML file. So, we need to manually synchronize them, using Google doc or something else.

Actually. My initial meaning is to find out how we can collaborate for this VAST challenge(how to assign tasks, how to use github, etc.), not solving the MC3:) But I think you've brought many valuable points, so I will change the title of this issue.

movingname commented 11 years ago

I think if you can first have a clear design of the web tool. Then we can see whether it is interesting and whether it is feasible. If it is interesting and feasible, we can work together to implement it.

Or, you can think how to create a mock up that sufficiently demonstrates your idea without implementation. Do you think it is possible?

If we use the hypothesis-based task division/ collaboration, this could be a very nice case study. We can publish high quality paper.

Webside is not the point. We can also leverage existing tools.

movingname commented 11 years ago

Good. Let's aim for a paper:)

How to implement it is not the key. The key is to design it. Whoever interested in designing it could write a detailed design document.

I am wondering is there some document recording our hypothesis? It's a good way to do it in GitHub. But everytime I visit the GitHub, I see different kinds of issues, including tools, methods, cooperation and hypothesis. So may be something more clear about our hypothesis is in need. Maybe in that way, our focus could be on hypothesis-based task division/ collaboration. And we can imagine a story easier.

Thanks.
