Biogang:Projects/Bioinformatics Career Survey 2008

Hello, here's a couple of points

• Please be nice to the people who contributed the data. By filling in the form everyone agreed for the data to be released online, if you do find anything that you think you could use to identify someone, or be used to do anything generally nasty, please don't let the world know, just me
• I don't own the data, you don't need my permission to post any analysis of the results on your blog or website, you just need to follow the CC license. So go crazy, the more analysis the better.

Sharing and Collaborating

I think it would great to combine the results together into a PDF, or possibly even an editorial in an open access bioinformatics journal if there was the interesting. So if you produced some results on your blog, you could be my BFF by also posting the results on this Open Wet Ware page. Further more If you think there's something fishy about some of the results, you can let me know, or even better fork the data on github, update it, then send me a pull request. Other uses of Github to share interesting tit-bits of analysis may also earn special praise.
