Not just "What do we have?" but also "What is missing?"
In a brief exchange with @carlosrellan on twitter a few months ago I had the idea to create a ToDo list for archaeological open source software. This might be a great resource for thesis projects, hackathons, unconferences, summer schools etc.
On Friday this idea emerged again in a conversation with @nmueller18 and I remembered this new "What do we have" list by you, @zackbatist. Your list could be a starting point for a collection of ToDos. The community of practice for digital archaeology is pretty small, so it could be possible to establish it as a common hub for ideas and feature requests. Or does everybody prefer to protect their good project ideas?
@carlosrellan was asking for a harris matrix R package, @nmueller18 had several great ideas to reimplement algorithms that already existed in the past but are lost to framework progress and I think there is -- just as an example -- a desperate need for a simple graph/network transformation package in R.
Maybe @joeroe, @MartinHinz, @florianthiery, @dirkseidensticker or @benmarwick have an opinion or some more ideas?
