This page is for the Leadership Team to develop its plan for publicity, recruiting, and other aspects of administration (vs. the plan for the hackathon itself).

planning

roles list

  • back-end trees - you have access to big trees (>1K species) and can make them accessible via some data store
  • branch length estimation - you can adapt tools that assign branch lengths (via a branching model, or external reference points, or character sampling).
  • documentation expert - you can make screencasts and write clear how-to documents
  • grafting & pruning - you can implement algorithms for grafting and pruning
  • NeXML spec - you can help expand the NeXML spec to cover the Phylotastic use-case
  • provenance annotation - you can use metadata to keep track of where results come from
  • semantic integration, mashups - you can write tools to discover, collect and integrate online data
  • something else - you can contribute to this project in ways we haven't imagined yet
  • TNRS - you can use and adapt tools to map one set of names to another
  • use-case expert - you know a real pruning-grafting-integration problem that can be used to test Phylotastic
  • visualization - you can adapt an existing phylogeny visualization tool for new intputs and capabilities
  • web service interfaces - you can design and implement interfaces to wrap existing tools
  • workflows - you can assemble web services (or other resources) into an executable workflow
