I'm interested in contributing to this for the Mozilla Science Global Sprint.

Is there an active repository where I can learn more about the project?

Hi @Zovfreullia! Thanks for your interest- the idea here is to develop an R package based on code developed with students for a course I taught this past semester- we had to write several custom functions for processing data that likely have use elsewhere. We don't have a repo for the package yet, and I'll be a week or so before i can really get things set up for it, but here's our course repo: https://github.com/cbahlai/lampyrid

I am interested in contributing.

[cbahlai]

Cool! I will get more details together as soon as I can. I'll be travelling this week so my responses may be slow.

[paliwalgaurav]

Thank you.

I'd like to contribute to this project too! In Toronto @Mozilla looking for work to do ;)

Hi @Monsauce ! Unfortunately we're having some organizational difficulties related to a family emergency in East Lansing right now so I'm utterly lacking entry points. the idea is to take the code developed at https://github.com/cbahlai/lampyrid and expand the functions in it to use other degree day models, and build a package at https://github.com/cbahlai/dede

[Monsauce]

No worries @cbahlai I'll see if I can work on some of the models and functions. All the best with the family stuff!

[Monsauce]

@cbahlai Just checking in to see if there are any particular issues you want me to work on today. I did some minor fixes to the code yesterday.

[cbahlai]

This is AMAZING thank you @Monsauce ! I'll go through and confirm and merge in a bit. My students are furiously working on the manuscript related to this work right now- would you like to see it? it's here: https://www.overleaf.com/4136214wkxzyp#/12164654/

It's a bit messy right now- I'm writing the analysis methods directly from the code- in that I literally pasted it in and I'm reformatting the comments, turning it into a narrative

[Monsauce]

Definitely will read. I can add notes to the pdf version of the manuscript if you would like!
