Fifth Handbook Hackathon
On November 28, 2024, all authors participated in the fifth hackathon for the Research Support Handbook. For this hackathon, we focused on adding new content and consolidating requests.
We had a large number of contributions related to tools. The handbook now has information about Research Cloud, SciCloud and Yoda. These were long-standing issues and it is really nice that they turned into topics.
Irene helped us to revise the metadata topic.
Tycho is working on a page for ORCID, the ORCID Libguide page will be adjusted to redirect to the handbook.
Lena was working on a data backup topic, trying to make it generic and applicable to multiple tools.
We had a discussion of an overview page. New colleagues also within support miss an overview of the services available. There are many pages that give some ideas: the RDS portal on Tools, the guide on available services and RISP - but all these overviews have diverse struggles so we are still looking for a good way of doing it.
ITvO colleagues noticed that they miss an official VU page which gives a summary of what ITvO is and does.
Question that came up: how to add new contributors? Do they need access rights? Do they work with forks or branches?
