Minutes

Agenda abbreviated to focus discussion on rse-python

1. Progress on rse-python

   Damien: Zipf's Law code for narrative done.

   • Outline of how chapter needs to be edited to work with narrative: https://github.com/merely-useful/merely-useful.github.io/blob/book/py-rse/narrative.md

   • Chapter assignments for re-factoring to reflect narrative: https://github.com/merely-useful/merely-useful.github.io/issues/240#issuecomment-571508049

   • Discussion on Zipf's Law and what it all means: https://github.com/merely-useful/merely-useful.github.io/issues/288

   Multiple versions of script files in bin/ e.g. for the plot counts code.
   May need to add at the end of the lesson: script.py looks like this.

   Scripts can be edited if you find a teaching point is missing, we'll reconcile later.

   Action: By next meeting Update your assigned chapters to match narrative, or at least figure out if you have enough information to do so, e.g. is the narrative working? Create you own PR and link back to the chapter assignment issue.

   Brandeis: Has been going through RSE files looking for gaps in exercises. Will open issues as gaps or probelms identified.

   Kate: Will hold off dealing with project, publish and teams redundancies until content finalised.

   Kate: Do we need to develop code for R equivalent to Zipfs Law? Agreement, that no, hold off until python-rse is done, will need to review the content of r-rse.

2. Next meeting: Jan 21st Moderator: Kate Note taker: Damien
