Chatroom for Contributors and Developers about covid19-review HOT 12 CLOSED

Looks like someone in the org needs to start the chatroom to link it to this repo, I'll assist @rando2 with this process.

@mprobson : is this something you'd be willing to lead up? Seeing the interest level in #17 I'm thinking that we'll want a place to at least coordinate folks who can help those who are newer to Git/GitHub. I've used gitter before, and I agree that not having to have a new account is a strength. If you're willing to lead this up, I'll defer to you on what the way to go is :)

+1 for Gitter

@cgreene Absolutely, I'll work on setting up a Gitter room ASAP. I had a quit chat with some of my colleagues at UIUC and they seem to like Gitter as well.

We're live at https://gitter.im/covid19-review/community

I'm there! 👋 Do you want to file a PR to add this to the README.md?

from covid19-review.

You read my mind! I can also add it to the text if you'd prefer.

What do you think about adding a link to it, the introduce yourself, and the overall repository readme explicitly in the Abstract section of the paper? I figure some folks will get here by landing on https://greenelab.github.io/covid19-review/ and won't know to click the "automatically generated from..." part to get to GitHub and contribute.

Seems like a great idea. We could also fence it off in a (new) contribution section(?) between the Abstract and Intro.

from covid19-review.

Yes! Even better - perhaps "Where to Contribute" with a very short set of pointers? I'm big on DRY but getting folks to the right place is important :)

from covid19-review.

On it! Also, very glad to hear you're a fan of DRY :)

See #23 , I'm still waiting on CI test to confirm links work.
