<mark>Cass: resync call notes from last week to capture Peter's comments.</mark>

## 1. Tour of tools
- What we've got now and what extensions are possible.
### Protocols db
- Working into researcher workflow
- Improving usability and value e.g. structured user testing.
- code: https://git.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/acquisition/win-protocols-db
- Written in JS/SCSS/HTML/Python, needs debugging 

### Tasks repository
- https://open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/open-science/community/Open-WIN-Community/docs/tasks/
- Danger of task versions getting out of date. directing to lab spaces might make be more robust.
- We like the idea of something more like a directory/database linking to lab pages.
- Sounds like a good amount of work on lab behaviour change towards gitlab good practice.
- Moving the lab towards gitlab is hard to do restrospectively, but easier to set up in the start.
- Template for readme?

### Reproducible analysis
- <mark>Cass add a link to the wrapper script</mark>
- <mark>Cass link stuff about comuptational reproducibility</mark>
- This is about bringing equity to the skills that researchers have to produce reproducible code.

### What worked well?

- I also liked that we talked about programming languages already so one could see which tool might be a good 'fit' to one's skills
