Remove likely useless files #27

Closed maurolepore closed 6 years ago

maurolepore commented 6 years ago

As I restructure the allodb project I would like to delete useless files. This issue documents the files I would like to remove but I need to first confirm with @gonzalezeb.

@gonzalezeb,

I suspect that the table of Basic information about ForestGEO sites may be close to what Ervan has provided as the site.info dataset. Please see "data-raw/is_this_to_delete/site.info.csv". Here is some metadata I collected:

Dataset: site.info Information on sites from tropical forests. Source: Ervan Rutishauser (er.rutishauser@@gmail.com), received on Sat, Oct 28, 2017 at 4:05 AM.

If this dataset is useful let me know so I export it (place it into data/ with the .rda format).

Yes, all files in the folder "is_this_to_delete" can be deleted except the site.info dataset from Ervan. We will, however, need to modify/add more sites and data later.

Thanks @gonzalezeb. I've just exported sites_info. Please edit its documentation in R/data.R. To add more data please edit data-raw/data_sites_info.csv (for example using excel) and then re-export by re-running data-raw/data.Rmd -- which will automatically overwrite the exported dataset data/sites_info.rda.

Notice that your workflow is now more complex. Until now you edited data-raw/allodb_main.csv and then re-exported all objects by running data-raw/data.Rmd. Now you have two "writable" files: data-raw/allodb_main.csv and data-raw/data_sites_info.csv. If you think this complexity can get out of control we can discuss ways to make things simpler.
