Time	Nick	Message
02:12	pdurbin	axfelix: you're back :)
02:44	axfelix	pdurbin: needed to do some irc squatting for islandora stuff, so this is a side benefit :)
02:44	pdurbin	:)
02:45	pdurbin	axfelix: another "coming soon" ... http://thedata.org/book/apps :)
02:46	axfelix	oooh, I liked the sound of the R library
02:49	pdurbin	:)
02:49	pdurbin	that guy's great
02:50	axfelix	yeah, also generally nice to see workflow integration for facilitating deposit
02:50	axfelix	I know people like me are supposed to freak out about user-supplied metadata at that point
02:50	axfelix	but even if the R lib is just for retrieving data and not for putting
02:50	axfelix	that's a pretty big deal
02:52	axfelix	one of the rOpenSci devs is a bioinformatics grad student @SFU ... really good guy, he's more receptive to most of our data initiatives than the faculty
03:21	pdurbin	people 'round here love R

15:15	sbmarks	axfelix =)
15:19	pdurbin	sbmarks: don't tell me you care about metadata too ;)
15:19	sbmarks	profoundly ;)
15:22	pdurbin	it would be nice if DVN's faceted search allowed you to pick date ranges, such as "studies the past 3 years", but the metadata for dates can be entered as strings
15:22	axfelix	unix time in seconds?
15:23	axfelix	or do you have some sort of regex that tries to smooth out mm-dd-yyyy?
15:23	pdurbin	yeah, we do some validation... here's a related ticket: https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/issues/3022
15:24	pdurbin	and a related bug we fixed: https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/issues/2953 ... 'Faceting for "Production Date" label brings up text "Please see full citation"'
15:24	pdurbin	anyway, I care about metadata too
15:24	pdurbin	somewhat ;)
15:31	sbmarks	hehe
