Page 6, line 12 describes the initial efforts of building an open repository of ChemKED files, on GitHub. Is this the most efficient way for making a publically available database? One issue with this is the fact that adding files is done via pull requests, which have to be verified and approved by the owners of the repository. Therefore a certain delay is inevitable.

From Kyle:

While I agree that submitted PRs on GitHub is less efficient than just uploading files willy-nilly, I think that there still needs to be some sort of human curation involved. However, one major benefit is that we have a tool that checks for basic errors, and also the submission happens in the open.
