Projects

Active

A project is a unit of work large enough to produce a chapter or a paper and small enough to finish. It owns a question, a method, an architecture and a set of experiments. It does not own datasets or artifacts, which are registered centrally and referenced.

Anatomy of a project

Research question

The question this project alone is responsible for.

Hypotheses

The predictions it tests.

Methodology

How it tests them.

Architecture

What was built, and why it is built that way.

Experiments

The runs, and what each was for.

Results

What was observed, separately from what it means.

Limitations

What the project cannot support, stated by the author first.

Future work

What the next person should do, including what did not work.

Adding a project

Copy templates/project-template.md, take the next number from registry/projects.yaml, and register it in the same commit. The directory name is PRJ-NNN-short-slug; the number is permanent and the slug can change.

Status vocabulary

idea, planned, active, paused, complete, archived. A project that has not been touched in three months and is not marked paused is a bookkeeping error. See status values.
