AWG Code Table Administrator

[Jegelewicz]

I propose that we add the position "Code Table Administrator" to the AWG.

It should not take two months to get parts, attributes, or other code table items added. Requests for these types of additions often go unnoticed which means that someone is not getting their data in or they are using less-than-perfect means to do so. I think it would be good to have at least three people responsible for monitoring the GitHub for these kinds of requests and assisting with getting them cleared up. We also need to make sure we have some good guidelines for such additions written in the documentation so that we don't just start adding things willy-nilly without definitions.

I support this.

From AWG meeting:

Who has access to Code Tables? Add/Change CT info
-when issues come up, we know who to ask to follow up
-CT Label / Assignment link so folks who can do this can keep track
-remove this task from Dusty - CT editors as distinct group

Shared table monitors who volunteer to help fix problems, review bad/low data reports (e.g., agents, geographies, etc.)

Any opposition to creating a Group Agent in Arctos and adding all who have code table access to it?

[campmlc]

No objection to group agent. As Co-Chair I have access and I believe Carla does too. Anyone else?

I also set up a team on GitHub. @ArctosDB/arctos-code-table-administrators so that people filing issues can tag you all. Please add anyone else who should be on the list.

I have access to code tables but have refrained from using it.

See eg #1451 (comment). I don't think most users can manage Issues enough to properly tag anything, so the new team seems like unnecessary complication.

Alternatively, we could give more people code table access - authority changes are emailed out, we're all carefully reviewing that (right!?!), so maybe it's OK if eg, all active AWG members can create authority values (which are then reviewed via the email).

#1450 is critical to any approach. We can't possibly tell if a new value is actually new when there are undocumented existing values.

It should not be possible to add or edit values without providing documentation, but it's certainly possible to provide useless documentation.

Code table documentation is http://handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/How-to-Use-Code-Tables.html

[dustymc]

Can github send email when a {project/label/something} issue is filed?

[campmlc]

Code Table Committee
Mariel - point, MSB
Carla -MVZ Bird
Aren -UAM Mamm
Angela - Cultural
Michelle- MVZ
Mary Beth: Alabama paleo

[campmlc]

Add Emily Braker (needs permissions), Anna Chin (needs permissions)

[campmlc]

Code table permissions granted to Emily and Anna

[AJLinn]

I also don't have code table permission. Should I have that access added or just rely on Aren to make cultural changes?

[amgunderson]

You now have code tables permissions Angie, proceed with caution...

[AJLinn]

Thanks. Since i don't even know how or where to go to make changes, I'm pretty safe for now... ;-)

[dustymc]

There's some fairly minimal documentation at http://handbook.arctosdb.org/how_to/How-to-Use-Code-Tables.html.

[mkoo]

Committee created and CT projct made

[dustymc]

We done here? Tentatively closing....
