# Correlaid Codes

## Goals
- Low entry threshold, particularly for newcomers
- More focus on learning
- Showcasing Correlaid Packages
- Analysis of open Data
- Address Python and R part of the community

## Initial setup to get started

The idea is to use FastPages as the tool. FastPages allows to create blogposts directly from Jupyter notebooks and Markdown files.

### Starting page, and formatting

- [x] Name (Correlaid Codes)
- [x] Remove FastPages Defaults from index page
- [ ] Correlaid Logo on Index page

### Initial Blog post ideas

Probably we only need a subselection of these as it might
be helfull to have ideas left for people to get started when
we announce it to the broader community.

- [x] Example post Python
- [x] Example post R (Jupyter)
- [ ] Example post R (Markdown)
- [x] Gender Mobility differences

#### Package overviews for CorrelAid afliated Packages

That could include everything that is already mentioned
in the Open Source page of the blog

- [ ] Package Correlaid Gender Differences (Styling)
- [ ] Package Datenguide (Python and R?)

> [name=Frie] i am not sure whether that's a good idea as it means more work for the teams. i'd rather have them invest more time in a good readme in their repositories (documentation already a "not fun" task). :) if some teams are motivated i'd rather work with ### in the open source page. 
> [name=Konrad] I feel like our open data/open source projects are missing mostly users and I'm wondering whether more advertisement would help more with this than more documentation. The idea behind this is also that if more people actually use a pacakge it might be more motivating to contribute, both for existing an ideally new contributors.


### Open Data Source

It might help to provide a post on open data sources from the
socioeconomic are. Maybe we can collect some interesting sources
here before making the post.

Ideas: 
- [destatis](https://www.destatis.de/EN/Home/_node.html)
- [govdata](https://www.govdata.de/)
- [corona](https://opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/dd4580c810204019a7b8eb3e0b329dd6_0) , more specifically RKI data hosted on arcgis
- local open data/project sepcific data
- wikipedia (scraping tables from here might be helpfull intro post as well)


## General Open Points and ToDos

- [ ] Make it as easy as possible to upload blogposts
- [ ] Extend the Fastpages GitHub actions to allow for direct use of R-Markdown files

### Potential future posts
- [ ] Package Konstanz open Data
- [ ] post from the citizen science project team (they use python and open data) -> #citizenscienceproject 
- [ ] opendiscourse team crossposts (? might need to ask opendiscourse but should be fine)
- [ ] Introduction to usage of Docker/Docker Compose. (relevant for running fastpages locally and gernerally a local skill)
