Notes

Research

  • consolidate and revise EWS text(?)
  • replies to Luke and Brian on model choice

Notebook meta

  • fix google-analytics plugin (still needs to get toggle working?)
  • tests of notebook-parsing.Rmd. New errors on ; somehow in straight XML parsing, ignoring for the moment.
  • Opened a few new issues around improving site semantics. (#59, #60)

ropensci

  • Resubmit rfishbase – silently load to local, not global namespace. Updated data cache (and ASCII-ify and compress).
    Also replaced data loading with system.file("data", "fishbase.rda", package="fishbase"). ASCII-only .rda is very annoying. Should work around this with alternative data file?

  • Resubmit rfigshare – punt on 3.0.0 compatible vignette for the moment

  • knitcitations: Fix the stupid disambiguation for inline citations (took way too long).
