Add progress communication to specification #40

Open nuest opened 6 years ago

nuest commented 6 years ago

Well-defined log messages during execution could provide progress information, which can be parsed by tools and communicated to the user, during ERC execution.

This could initially be based on the default progress percentage of rmarkdown/knitr.

Authors could add progress information in their scripts, too (e.g. by calling R functions, or by adding well-defined comments).

This requires an extension of the specification.
