'''Tools Knowledge in the Community''' | |||
** Developing a strategy for sharing what tools are out there | |||
*** Example: [http://www.biovel.eu/ Biovel] | |||
* Sharing information about skills researchers need to use particular tools | |||
** Could get lots of info from iPlant and Data Carpentry about the skills problems people run into when trying to use any of the community tools for research. | |||
*** Use this to strategically point people to where they can transform their data, or learn a skill. | |||
** NOTE: skills needed are mostly the ''same across the data providers and researchers'' based on the experience of COLLAB-IT, Data and Software Carpentry. | |||
* Everyone watch this video together (DP, KL, MC) | |||
