OSF: Project Management and Documentation Support

[Brian Nosek]

The need for project and documentation management has grown rapidly
for the OSF and the Reproducibility Project in particular. This email
serves as introduction to Elizabeth Bartmess, so that you are not
surprised if you get individual email from her.

Elizabeth is helping with project management and information
coordination for the Reproducibility Project / Open Science Framework.
She has a background in information science and social psych (MSI/MS,
University of Michigan) and in her day job works for UCSF as a
programmer/data manager for large research projects.

There are a number of administrative tasks that she and others will be
addressing such as keeping public documents up-to-date, lowering the
barrier to entry for new contributors, maintain accurate contributor
lists, developing lists of tasks and skills needed for particular
project components.

Excellent! Welcome, Elizabeth.

Hi all! I'm psyched about the project and looking forward to working with you. 

As Brian mentions we have a number of administrative tasks in the works (and more to come).  If you're interested in potentially helping with administrative tasks, email me and I'll bring you up-to-date on our current plans and we can talk about where you might fit in.

Project and document management is something I'm interested in. I think it's an important consideration when running studies.  The way I see it, the better the documents/data/files are managed, the easier it is to share research materials. 

Elizabeth,  as the project progresses would you be willing to share your knowledge with the group 

-- perhaps by providing best practices for managing research materials and data? 

-- maybe even examples of scripts you've written to facilitate / automate this in the context of the current project? 

Thanks

Rick
