overleaf template ? #2

Open jcolomb opened 4 years ago

jcolomb commented 4 years ago

I started to do an overleaf version here: https://www.overleaf.com/3963138598bdkxgnjcsczm

The idea would be to create a template for CRC application, I started with the INF project part, as that is my part of the work ;) would love feedback and help.

Are you working on a proposal or a full application?

We worked with overleaf with git integration for the full application. There was a central git with subgits for every project. This structure worked very well and it would be cool if someone else profited from the effort.

Interested?

We will do a second round application next year, I think there is also a proposal to write before, but I think this will be done via googledocs and copy/paste. I may have to write a INF project, but I am not responsible for the whole application. I am not yet working on it, was just looking for a template and found this (after some intense browsing!).

Indeed, the git+overleaf workflow sounds very interesting. Is it more than what is in this repository? Maybe it would be worth putting a bit more work in it to document how to use it, and publish a paper about it ;) Maybe even having the project/repository linked in the DFG form download page. I do not know whether having an overleaf template could also help (maybe for people to know it exists) ?

I ping @xldrkp here: maybe we could have a complementary markdown based workflow to write these DFG CRC grant application ? I indeed moved to markdown after playing around a little with overleaf.

Thanks for connecting. In fact I do not have a template right here, but in my latest GitLab workshop colleagues asked if writing applications might also work collaboratively in Git(Hub|Lab). I put this on the list of ideas related "template design for general publishing workflows" that we are working on with @tarleb. Finally it is "just" taking a working LaTeX template and embed some parameters for Markdown/pandoc in it.

Oups.

yes, much more. But it currently is in the form of our application. Context would have to be carefully removed before publishing it as a template. But if there is interest it could well be worth the pain.

That sounds very good. We used overleaf for people to write their proposals from the template we provided. You can control the files via the github backend.

Are those ideas published in any form?

xldrkp commented 4 years ago

Not yet. We are going to host a workshop at OA Days 2020 where we show our stack and discuss potentials. Feel free to join or talk in advance.

could be interesting to see if one could use rticles package for that ? (http://github.com/rstudio/rticles), although it might need features with a book approach ??
