@konfirmed just wanted to check in on progress - how are the queries coming along? Let us know if you need any assistance

@konfirmed @bramstein How are things going? Do you think you can finish the queries and start making the charts before the end of the month? We want to keep the writing on track for publication.

@siakaramalegos I plan to put some more time into it next week.

@konfirmed @bramstein is this PR ready for review?

@rviscomi Not yet. I hope to wrap up the last queries this week. Though feel free to review the ones that are already there.

bramstein avatar Aug 15 '22 18:08 bramstein

Thanks @bramstein. In that case I'd suggest opening the PR for review now, getting early feedback, and merging what we have so far. Then later in the week when the remaining queries are written, we can push the smaller PR through.

I moved some of the queries to a nice-to-have list. I'll focus on wrapping up the queries that are essential to the chapter this week and hopefully get around to some of the optional ones as well.

bramstein avatar Aug 16 '22 08:08 bramstein

@siakaramalegos @rviscomi I completed all the required queries and two optional ones. I think I'll leave it at this and focus on the data and writing now.

I'll go through the queries tomorrow and address the review notes.

bramstein avatar Aug 17 '22 10:08 bramstein

@rviscomi I've addressed all comments. Let me know if you spot anything else or if the PR can be merged. Thanks!
