Changelog

All notable changes to this course are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Changed

  • X1–X4 form the core workshop; X5 and X6 are optional, self-paced extensions (#17, D-014).
  • The run of show gives X1–X4 more time and replaces the X5 and X6 blocks with a block for questions, troubleshooting, and the extensions.
  • Steps in X1–X4 that the core workflow does not need start with “Optional:”.
  • The pass rule requires attendance only. An informal closing reflection replaces the minimum deliverable and the exit check.
  • The syllabus, the home page, the sidebar, the slides, the solutions, and the instructor notes distinguish core content from optional extensions.

0.1.0 - 2026-10-27

The version taught on Friday, 16 October 2026. The tag v0.1.0 marks commit 280896e, the state of main during the session. The session showed that X1–X6 do not fit into four hours (#17).

Added

  • Course repository created from maehr/open-research-data-template at commit c6ec5bc.
  • Course pages: setup, syllabus, exercises X1–X6, solutions, instructor notes with a UI verification log.
  • Reveal.js slides for the session, self-contained for offline use.
  • Requirements register with verified rules of the DH study plan (2025) and RSL Phil.-hist. 21.
  • Synthetic dataset of 30 periodical records with its data dictionary.
  • Versioned example backlog (8 epics, 34 sub-issues), milestones, decisions, and risks.
  • Seed script for the example repository and the public showcase Project.
  • Annotated screenshots of the GitHub interface, captured on 2026-10-12.
  • Thesis documentation template, decision record, and issue forms.
  • GitHub cheat sheet with the terms of the workshop, the browser paths, and the matching git and gh commands.
  • Page on project-management approaches (phase plan, Kanban, Scrum, and a hybrid), as the KSL description promises.
  • Page “After the workshop” with the private-thesis transfer, a weekly review, and a monthly check.
  • Three screenshots of the verified Project copy, workflows, and access settings.

Changed

  • Course facts follow the KSL course entry. The pass rule (D-010) and the licence (D-005) are decided.
  • Design, fonts, and sidebar navigation follow maehr/all-data-are-local. Each exercise opens with “At a glance” and ends with “Next”.
  • X2: learners derive one Issue from a requirement. X3: learners copy the showcase Project and decide priorities and dates. X6: learners choose and justify one of three options.
  • X5 separates coordination, storage, publication, backup, and preservation, and warns that a release archive holds every tracked file.
  • The slides cover the whole course, with screenshots.
  • The research question matches the synthetic data.
  • npm, Python, and GitHub Actions dependencies are updated to their latest releases. Quarto stays at 1.10.19, the latest stable release.

Fixed

  • Project access is separate from repository access in the pair path.
  • The example backlog shows the priority of each sub-issue.
  • The Project export is a TSV file, and it sits in the view tab menu.
  • The extension rule of RSL Art. 56 includes further extensions by the Collegium Decanale.

Removed

  • R stack, dev container, template showcase site, and unused scaffolds of the template.
