Visualizing data with R and ggplot2

[hawc2]

Programming Historian in English has received a proposal for a lesson, 'Visualizing data with R and ggplot2,' by @rogorido and @nabsiddiqui.

I have circulated this proposal for feedback within the English team. We have considered this proposal for:

• Openness: we advocate for use of open source software, open programming languages and open datasets
• Global access: we serve a readership working with different operating systems and varying computational resources
• Multilingualism: we celebrate methodologies and tools that can be applied or adapted for use in multilingual research-contexts
• Sustainability: we're committed to publishing learning resources that can remain useful beyond present-day graphical user interfaces and current software versions

We are pleased to have invited @rogorido and @nabsiddiqui to develop this Proposal into a Submission under the guidance of @semanticnoodles as editor.

The Submission package should include:

• Lesson text (written in Markdown)
  • For guidance, we recommend Sarah Simpkin's lesson Getting Started with Markdown
• Figures: images / plots / graphs (if using)
• Data assets: codebooks, sample dataset (if using)

We ask @rogorido and @nabsiddiqui to share their Submission package with our Publishing team by email, copying in @semanticnoodles.

We've agreed a submission date of April. We ask @rogorido and @nabsiddiqui to contact us if they need to revise this deadline.

When the Submission package is received, our Publishing team will process the new lesson materials, and prepare a Preview of the initial draft. They will post a comment in this Issue to provide the locations of all key files, as well as a link to the Preview where contributors can read the lesson as the draft progresses.

If we have not received the Submission package by April, @semanticnoodles will attempt to contact @rogorido and @nabsiddiqui. If we do not receive any update, this Issue will be closed.
