Explore data from "Motivation, values, and work design as drivers of participation in the R open source project for statistical computing"

The paper http://www.pnas.org/content/112/48/14788.abstract was published last December. They did a survey of package developers, and collected lots of information including country and gender. I have this data.

I would like to do an exploration or the survey results, and make a lot of plots, to see what else we can learn about R package authors and why they contribute, and where they come from.

Hi Prof Cook, sadly I can't make the unconf today but I really enjoy exploring data visually. May I download a copy of the data and have a look on the weekend?

Hi Ben,

Yes, I posted it on the issues page - its a zip file, and my rough start code to look at it. Let me know if you have trouble seeing it.

cheers, Di

Thanks Di!

I've got it. I'll have a look on the weekend and share what I get up to.

Hope the unconf goes well,

Ben
