Move experiment metadata to config.conf #19

Closed jobrachem closed 4 years ago

jobrachem commented 5 years ago

If possible, it would make sense and be convenient to define the experiment author, title, version and type in the config.conf.

That would also enable us to streamline the user experience on mortimer, where we could simply use the title in mortimer as experiment title and the user's account email address as experiment author.

We would probably have to think a little about how to handle versioning.

For a start

edit init.py, so that the Experiment class uses the parameters from config.conf per default
ensure backwards compatibility: If a user enters the parameters in the script.py, it should still be checked whether these parameters equal those from the config.conf

Still need implementation for work with mortimer. In mortimer, the experiment metadata should be taken directly from the page.
