Bioconductor has many (>800) Rnw PDF vignettes that would be more user-friendly if converted to using Rmd+BiocStyle. I've identified a couple students who are willing to work on this, and have started a Trello board to organize the work: https://trello.com/b/nJHqzR1j/bioconductor-vignettes-rnw-rmd-project. I have a couple questions for bioc-devel:
1. I've only started moving vignettes from pre-triage to "core team maintained", "community-contributed low priority" (less downloaded packages), and "community-contributed high priority" (highly downloaded packages). Please use comments on Trello to note any packages you'd like to see added to the lower or high-priority list, including your own. If you want to do a bunch of triage, I can add you to the Trello board. Before starting work on any community-contributed package, we will contact the maintainer to confirm whether they will accept a pull request that updates their vignette. 2. Anyone have experience with the many Rnw -> Rmd converters that a Google search turns up? I see Mike Love and Laurent Gatto are responsible for one of them (https://gist.github.com/lgatto/d9d0e3afcc0a4417e5084e5ca46a4d9e), would you still recommend it? I expect there to be some manual cleanup in addition to adding BiocStyle markup, but the less the better. 3. If you or anyone you know wants to help out, let me know, I'll be organizing a little group to work on this together. -Levi -- Levi Waldron Associate Professor Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy Institute for Implementation Science in Population Health 55 W 125th St, New York NY 10035 https://waldronlab.io Join the microbiome Virtual International Forum: https://microbiome-vif.org [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
