Aarhus Workshop debrief

[SimonGoring]

Overall

• Provide guidance for versioning &cetera for folks prior to the workshop to identify the current software requirements.

Simple Workflow

• Concepts about pollen, taxonomy & "occurrence" are critical, how and when are they addressed in the workshop?
• Introduction material in the complex workflow is also relevant for the simple workflow.
• For non-experts, age depth models are complicated. Can provide a simple description.
• Need an explanation of how pollen actually works.
• Taxonomic Harmonization is discussed in the introduction but wasn't explicitly in the workshop (is now in the repository)

Complex Workflow

• Neotoma2 package wasn't working because of the error neotoma2 is not available for your version of R.
  • Can be installed using devtools/install_github()
• The filter() function on the europe_ready variable (line 250) times out on binder.
• The case_when() function used is from a relatively new version of dplyr and so meant that from a personal computer people needed to update dplyr.
