Hi all,
Titus Brown just posted this to the SWCarpentry discussion list:
http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003285
I thought people here may be interested. And, it occurs to me that in yt, these rules are things we have attempted to support, but without codifying them -- and, we could do a better job of supporting them. In particular, I think rules 5 and 7 are things we could do a better job of supporting.
As an example:
* FRBs are difficult to store * Underlying slices/projections/etc are difficult to store (the raw data is not, but the intermediate products are) * Profiles are not easily saved
I think over time as we split the viz layer further from the data, and make the data accessible more easily through the viz, these will be improved. But, it's something to think about. And, the article is a good read, too!
