- Like us, has an 'internal' link buried at the bottom of the page. Unlike us, it goes to https://sites.google.com/bc.edu/memolab/home which is 404'ing at the moment.

Now that the migration is settling down, we should all reflect what the purpose of the sites (both https://github.com/neuropoly/neuro.polymtl.ca and https://github.com/neuropoly/intranet.neuro.polymtl.ca) are.
I think we should be proud that the internal docs are now open source, not locked behind the old "internal resources" link, largely thanks to @ahill187's month+ porting and sorting through old data (thank you so much for grinding through that!). It means we've achieved this!:
I was enthusiastic about that and about all the thread's other examples that encourage open sourcing lab knowledge, not just in research processes but also in bureaucratic and cultural ones. Most people won't be interested, but for candidates considering joining us, other labs looking to compare or improve, or just ourselves, having a well-curated manual that's easy use from anywhere is very helpful. Holding ourselves to well-documented open source academics I hope will push us to take less shortcuts and make the processes themselves more rationalized and sustainable; and where they're not at least we have the institutional knowledge archived.
