Be sure to include how to add collaborators.

[daniellecrobinson]

Can y'all review this? Let me know what you think. Still not sure how to add collaborators. Currently everyone is forced to make a pull req and I just say "you could do collaborators" https://github.com/daniellecrobinson/Data-Management-Modules-RDAP/blob/master/README.md

I think it's fine (great!) as is. Is it super necessary for them to deal in collaborators for this exercise?

[vantuyls]

is there a place in this section where we can also have them create issues for the data management modules (e.g. "need to drop in a university logo", "need to add another module on best practices for describing widgets"). i can then take those and use them in the next section when discussing projects.

not sure if that flows well, though...

[daniellecrobinson]

I was going to have them doing that here https://github.com/daniellecrobinson/Data-Management-Modules-RDAP/issues

[vantuyls]

ah, so they'd create issues for the questions in your first post, e.g.:

• What do we need for our course?
• Contributing guide
• Course module ideas (target 10)

?

@daniellecrobinson I just remembered something from the last time I taught a similar workshop: you'll need to show students how to unsubscribe from email notifications. There will be folks who complain about receiving a deluge of emails (from collaborator activity).

There's a few ways to handle email unsubscription. I would recommend "unwatching" from the repo homepage.
