Create "research group" on littlesis.org #182

Closed patcon closed 5 years ago

Reminded about this by convo in https://github.com/edgi-govdata-archiving/100days/issues/43

Research groups allow LittleSis analysts to work together on research projects.

This is a manual process, I've already submitted, but they emailed back asking for more details for the "profile":

Yes, let's get your research group set up. Sorry for the delay!

Just let me know what you would like for the following:

URL slug: (this is usually your group name e.g. https://littlesis.org/groups/Power_Behind_The_Police) Tagline: Single sentence tagline (example: Tracking the St. Louis region's oligarchs and their power networks) Description: Please send a paragraph on what the groups is, goals, focus, etc Logo: Please send a free image to represent your group

Thanks!

Thinking this:

URL Slug: envirodatagov Tagline: (from EDGI front page) An international network of academics and non-profits addressing potential threats to federal environmental and energy policy. Description: (merged two paragraphs from EDGI About page) The Environmental Data & Governance Initiative (EDGI) is an international network of academics and non-profits addressing potential threats to federal environmental and energy policy, and to the scientific research infrastructure built to investigate, inform, and enforce. Dismantling this infrastructure -- which ranges from databases to satellites to models for climate, air, and water -- could imperil the public's right to know, the United States' standing as a scientific leader, corporate accountability, and environmental protection. In response, EDGI is building online tools, events, and research networks to proactively archive public environmental data and ensure its continued public availability. We also are monitoring changes to federal regulation, enforcement, research, funding, websites and general agency management at agencies including EPA, DOE, NASA, NOAA, and OSHA. We aim to serve the environmental community and its allies, and to enable them to hold the new administration accountable, by preserving and improving public access to at-risk government environmental data, documents, and digital interfaces, and by monitoring, documenting, and analyzing change to federal environmental agencies. We also aim to create an open, collaborative network of individuals, non-profits, universities and companies who believe that science and data are vital for environmental governance.

The above seems generally aligned with the length/style of responses for other research groups.

Also, might want to take a second to consider whether the profile pages reflect how we want to be presented: https://littlesis.org/groups/hciu (Clicking around, seems they can be opinionated, or rather sterile, depending on preference.)

Anyhow, seems we're not actively using this now, but seems to take a little effort to set up, so might be something worth having so we can hit the ground running next time we're using it? Yay? Nay?
