OpenScienceFramework.org roadmap

[Jon Peirce]

I wonder if there's a (rough) idea of the roadmap/timescale for the more general release for the openscienceframework site? Specifically, when will I be able to make projects visible to others?

Basically, I'd like to start using it to upload studies for which I'm currently preparing manuscripts, but I only want to do this if it will be live for others to see in the (reasonably) near future. If not I can my own site for my own experimental materials, but I'd prefer to use this central resource if possible.

best wishes,

Jon

The Open Science Framework is in active use now.  It is still officially in private beta (~250 users), though it will move to public beta any day now.  As readers of this list, if you don't have an account yet and want one, you can go to this "secret" link and register yourself:

http://openscienceframework.org/accountbeta

As soon as you make a project public, it is discoverable.  See, for example:

http://openscienceframework.org/project/EZcUj/wiki/home

When the site goes into public beta (conceivably even today), the now hidden registration feature will be made available so that you can register your designs.  Also, very soon there will be new features to improve discovering open components.

Finally, feel free to post materials, data, etc from past projects.  There are no restrictions on such use.

Awesome (and congrats in advance on the release)! Then this will be where my materials are going from here onwards. :-)
I had done some uploading for test purposes but hadn't realised that the facility to make those materials discoverable was already in place.

Although it would be great to go back and post materials from past projects, I suspect it's unlikely for me to get around to it. Polishing/documenting current code is bearable. Polishing old code, from studies I've largely forgotten, might be too painful. But from here onwards I'll try to be a good open science citizen.

Great job guys/gals!

Jon
