Day 1
After lunch, with your group, go and walk outside or in the building and discuss this general topic on your experiences and workflows with tracking different versions of your files and managing changes made to those files. If no one has any experiences or workflows to share, you can instead brainstorm or generally discuss these topics.
Share an experience where you might have deleted text or code but thought you might have saved it somewhere in a backup or something. What did you do? Did you solve it? How did it make you feel?
Share how you manage your files and the different versions? When you send a paper for review to co-authors, how do you manage all the comments you get back? How do you save the files? When you work on a project, where do you save all your files related to that project? When you are writing documents, do you have a version for each day or keep working on that file?
Share any other experiences or ways that you manage how you work with files and how you make changes to them.
Day 2
After lunch, get in your group and walk outside (or inside) while discussing the general topic around the experiences and workflows of working on a paper or document that had results, either alone or with collaborators. If no one has any experiences or workflows to share, you can instead brainstorm or generally discuss these topics.
Share an experience where you might have had to re-do an analysis and update some figures and numbers in your document. How did you feel while doing that? How long did it take? Was it a good experience or would you rather have spent that time doing something else?
Share some experiences you have where you’ve collaborated on a project. How did you collaborate? Was it mostly discussing things together? Did you distribute tasks? How did you coordinate your documents, your work, your tasks? How did you keep updated on the latest versions of the files?
What other experiences do you have around working with analysis results, including them into documents, and collaborating with others or at least getting feedback?
