| 5min | Gathering questions to be answered | Kecia M Duffy | - Confluence costs 6k for knowledge base
- Confluence doesn't appear to have all the features required.
- Wordpress is instead supported by Leila A Hornick, who will try to have a test instance running in future
- Talked to Matt Blow and Christine Naca. There are interested in having a lot of documentation related to JAMO in the knowledge base.
- Looking at goverance of creating a knowledge base. Collating different documents about to manage this. Having a good governance structure will likely be very important for maintaining this in the longer term.
- Need to have certain about of rules around posts, so that there is structure for how to create and find information.

| 5min | Gathering keywords and tags | Jeff L Froula | - Working with William (Bill) B Andreopoulos on creating a list of tags for Leila A Hornick. She requires a list of tags to implement in the knowledge base. She will help organise the test page.
- Categories like JAMO will likely be a major one.
- Need to determine how to manage forums, one forum or multiple different forums.
- Likely need some way of auditing tags and managing them within the
|
| 5min | | William (Bill) B Andreopoulos | - Working on creating tags
- Spent some time working on wordpress plugins
- Plugins on following, social widgets or integration with slack
- StatsCounter on which pages are accessed
- Adding plugins to add stars to ratings
- Buddypress, starring and achievements for different users
- Might causes problems where people want to be winners or game the system
|
| 5min | Creating a tag policy | Mike Barton | - Created an example policy for tags from stack overflow - JGI Knowledge base - Tag policy
- Based on a lot of the Stack Overflow tag policy
- Need to have a way to disambiguate tags
|
| 5min | Developing training program | William (Bill) B Andreopoulos | - Met with the post docs and other people about the training policy. Everyone has very diverse interests but everyone is mostly R.
- Everyone generally has an interest in learning R and getting better.
- Alex Copeland would like to develop a 5 year policy for maintaining technologies at the JGI. Would also like to look at workflow manage systems.
- Some other R packages such as dplyr
- Met with Simona F Necula to discuss plans. Will create a biweekly meeting to introduce a topic and then give more an indepth training on a subject.
- Also develop a more advanced training when users want to delve deeper into a topic.
- Want also to develop best practices for topics such as in software carpentry
- Many people are using Jupyter and want to better understand debugging in it.
- The survey didn't tell us everything we needed to know. Want to develop training program at different levels of difficulty.
- Will develop a training plan at a regular frequency, and then get feedback from attendees on the topic.
- Also have day long and half day long training sessions.
- A big question is who would teach? Follow training videos online (e.g. edX)?
- Can we integrate the knowledge base with the training also, so that we can refer people to this also.
