16:32 dataverse-user Phil - Thanks for helping with the vagrant set up. vagrant box list reveals that there are not any installed boxes. As to the goal, what I would like to do is explore the metadata generation features and submission process. Is there a better way? thx, stevan
16:34 pdurbin dataverse-user: you want to create a new metadata block? To add to the list at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/tree/v4.3/scripts/api/data/metadatablocks ?
16:45 dataverse-user thanks, Phil. Kinda', sorta', those look more like templates. Let's take a tabular dataset. How do I generate the metadata appropriate for DV, then load it in my repo?
16:54 pdurbin dataverse-user: would logging into https://demo.dataverse.org and playing around help? Or do you need to be able to log in as a superuser?
17:02 dataverse-user that looks promsing, thanks, phil. I would prefer to avoid superuser so let me play a bit in there with those privileges, and I will touch base if i get stuck.
17:02 pdurbin dataverse-user: sounds good. Sorry Vagrant didn't work out for you.
17:03 dataverse-user I got the impression that having dataverse installed locally would be required to accomplish the functions of repo management, data ingestion, etc...but I guess not, sorry if I misread
17:04 pdurbin dataverse-user: oh, no, not really. Lots of people host their data at https://dataverse.harvard.edu and being "Admin" on their dataverse is often enough.
17:04 pdurbin Basically, when you create a dataverse, you are "Admin" on it. This is different than being a superuser.
17:04 dataverse-user great, will start playing!
17:05 pdurbin awesome

19:18 pdurbin garnett: I'm now a proud member of your forum: http://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/users/pdurbin :)
19:18 * pdurbin loves Discourse
19:18 garnett I saw! I'm really happy with discourse too
19:18 garnett it's nice that *something* finally came along to replace phpbb
19:19 pdurbin heh. exactly
19:19 garnett given that facebook and discus and whatnot are so dominant that locally-hosted forums were really marginalized for the past decade
19:19 garnett I run another instance for a side project of mine and I'm really happy with it
19:19 pdurbin we're still using Google Groups in Dataverse land, but I guess that's fine. I kind of prefer mailing lists to forums
19:20 garnett unfortunately I confessed that to my coworkers and now managing ours is usually my problem too :)
19:20 garnett yeah, google groups are good, most projects I work with use them
19:20 pdurbin heh
19:25 pdurbin garnett: did you see my email about signup via github?
19:28 garnett I did
19:29 garnett I'll let him know
19:30 pdurbin ok

21:54 pdurbin I guess this channel is a bit like a forum.
21:59 pdurbin It's all just variations on typing in a little box. :)
