Hi BioC users and contributors, In order to improve collaboration between scientists, computer engineers, bioinformaticians working with R and Bioconductor, I would like to see how much among you here in the list, would be interested in developing or making part of a website that plays the role of collaborative platform for R/Bioconductor codes, packages, workflows and contributions, so that we develop the "re-use" and "don't reinvent the wheel" spirit in one hand, and to put in practice a more collaborative work and interaction between people working on R/Bioconductor related projects. I already have experience in the development of such platforms and thought it could be useful and interesting to propose such initiative to people like you and I working with R/BioC This is in no way a competitive or alternative approach to Bioconductor mailing list but a complementary platform for sharing codes / workflows / analysis scenarios using R/BioC Would you please take a few moment to answer to this topic so that I can have an idea on your position in regards of such initiative. Thank you Radhouane -- *Radhouane Aniba* *Bioinformatics Research Associate* *Institute for Advanced Computer Studies Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology* *(CBCB)* *University of Maryland, College Park MD 20742* [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, in principle this sounds good, but it seems there's much overlap with the bioconductor web-site that already offers, packages, workflows, documentation, tutorials and hands-on hints and discussion (mailing list) ... In my experience many packages are as abstract as possible (IRanges and off-spring ...) whereas others are more tailored towards a specific need. Most of the code that I write is just "glue" to stick packages together in a workflow (or analysis), but it's not really re-usable workflow stuff, since it's often project specific, etc ... . I think there's only limited abstraction beyond the package level that's really useful - otherwise I'd write a package ;-) . Sorry, don't want to be negative, but maybe I didn't get your point. The only thing I'd really find useful is a web-based subscription free forum (I think this topic was briefly discussed at the last bioc developers conference in Heidelberg, but I don't remember the outcome ;-). Maybe instead of setting up a new web-site you could join the bioc-developers and help improving their web-site (no offense, after getting used to the new web-site I really started liking it ;-) best, arne Radhouane Aniba <aradwen@gmail.com> Sent by: bioconductor-bounces@r-project.org 12/21/2010 08:39 PM To bioconductor@r-project.org cc Subject [BioC] Idea that needs feedback Hi BioC users and contributors, In order to improve collaboration between scientists, computer engineers, bioinformaticians working with R and Bioconductor, I would like to see how much among you here in the list, would be interested in developing or making part of a website that plays the role of collaborative platform for R/Bioconductor codes, packages, workflows and contributions, so that we develop the "re-use" and "don't reinvent the wheel" spirit in one hand, and to put in practice a more collaborative work and interaction between people working on R/Bioconductor related projects.

Hi all, Hi arne, Well as I said in my first message, this is not intended to overlap any of Bioc services (website, forums, tutorials, workflows) that I found very well done and useful by the way. Well my point is that for new people getting involved in R/Bioc, the learning curve is different depending on each one capabilities. It could be very helpful for everyone, even for "guru" R/Bioc developpers to see what other already did that seems to be suitable for a part of a project. Just a word about tutorials, workflows and useful help in Bioc website; like every bio* project (Bioperl, Biojava, Biopython..) when a project is lunched and when people start to get involved in, there is always "how to do" sections and lot of tutorials that developers put in front so that people start to practice and to get more familiar with the langage syntax and tips. I remeber when I was developing using Biojava, with my respect to people behing that do a great job, there is only a wiki page which contains several helpful sections but this is only the top of the iceberg, such projects tends to evoluate exponentially and when a newbie start to get interested in using a package or langage X, it is already a mature field and people in the mailing lists and forum already speak a very hard t understand jargon, may be I am wrong, at least that was my case when I first started to learn biojava. Bioc is a relatively new, and more andmore used, and except the workflows and tutorials that exist in their website, this is for sure othe use cases and scenarios that some of us has already implemented in order to publish a paper or to develop a project, a lot of projects overlap in their biocomputational development parts, that's why I think personnaly that sharing knowledge on "how I did that" part or what workflow i developed used existing package in Bioc could be very helpful in the sens that it will lead automatically to save hours of developments and accelerate research, this is the basics of knowledge sharing let's say, and this is how I came to the point that sharing codes for R and BioC is a crucial and very helpful topic. Such platform that I have in mind has nothing to do with forums, actually people will be able to develop profile pages and write posts about their experience with R and Bioc, upload their presentations and posters so that all of us we can found directly the information we need instead of spending hours on the web looking for an information, it could be a very small portion of code, well commented and very clear, as it could be an entire workflow showing how to connect different bioc packages. I don't see if I am enough clear about the idea but with all respect that i have to all projects related to bio, non of them(us) is able to imagine in advance all possible scenarios using a specific tool. One example could be more speaking is what people behind Taverna package did developing myExperiment website, may be we can look at it and imagine features to a collaborative platform. Any comment is welcome and thank you for answering.

Tim, Thank you for your message. GitHub is for managing projects as far as I know, I personnaly never been there, but browsing a little bit their homepage R is not in their top 10 popular langages ! May be I am wrong. My proposal is not to create another project management website platform, other equivalent to GitHub are doing a great job. A collaborative platform for sharing code sources could work either as a platform for a scripts/code "show case" or a mean by which people get in touch with each other so that they speed up their development using what others already did (using is also modifying and enriching the scripts database). I need more feedback on that issue, would you please (some of you who did not participated in this thread already) take two minutes of your time to tell if you find this idea useful or interesting or not.

Hi Radhouane Aniba, What I understand from quick look of this discussion is ..you want to create a methods (R scripts) library with description in terms ..lets say.. R script 1.R input: ouptut: what is used for... how output looks like: modificaions: comments: and so, learners can easily grab the code and put it in their script or use the whole script to start learning R/BioC's capabilities? if that's the case..I like it..its good resource.

Hi Rad, For what it worth, git is really hardcore. It was originally written to host linux. You checkout, fork and merge code, clone repositories, etc. The discussion forum you were talking, an open exchange so that we are not always reinventing the wheel, I would be interested in participating in was more of a discussion forum. Git is more application rather than research centric.

I need more feedback on that issue, would you please (some of you who did not participated in this thread already) take two minutes of your time to tell if you find this idea useful or interesting or not.

Hi again, To Evan : it is for sure more than a discussion forum. To Saurin : What you described is a possible (very possible ) scenario, this is the shape that could have some pages dedicated to contributors codes. When submitting a source code or a scirpt people will possibly have to fill a 3 steps form so that everything is uniformly classified and the search in the website could be very simple and effective. so yes : absolutely yes.

I think a site that makes it easy and fun to post and access R/Bioconductor code snippets would get used. If it was done well. Maybe something kind of like shell-fu.org, but with longer code snippets?

Thank you Madelaine, Yes I am aware of Biostar, personnaly I am thinking it is a modified version of a forum, it is a specialized version of a model called question/answer website, which is great but not what I am willing to do.
