Store data using https://github.com/hadley/rappdirs

Possibly implement some of the ideas in https://github.com/richfitz/datastorr/blob/master/vignettes/datastorr.Rmd

An example from the LTER data portal: https://portal.lternet.edu/nis/codeGeneration?packageId=knb-lter-ntl.95.7&statisticalFileType=r

@limnoliver Do you know how those LTER loading scripts are created? I assume that data authors do not write those themselves.

limnoliver commented 8 years ago

@jsta No, data authors do not write them. Here at NTL LTER, we submit a metadata form to our database manager, and I assume she writes the code to accompany the data.

Still need to update internal links to LAGOS Gigascience once we have them.
