Today for #projects is my biggest one: Datasette! https://datasette.io
Datasette is "an open source multi-tool for exploring and publishing data" - but recently I've started thinking of it as "WordPress for data"
It's a Python web application that provides an interface and API for any structured data that can be represented in a SQLite databases - and since SQLite also includes support for both binary and JSON data that's effectively anything at all
The project just had its 5 year birthday
Here at DOAB we're pleased to announce the launch of PRISM: a new service provided as part of the OPERAS service portfolio.
PRISM aims to further build trust in peer review and OA academic book publishing
@mike @brembs We love working with @scedmunds and his team, as well as Code Ocean and Stencila for the Executable Research Article. @GigaByte deserved to win the ALPSP innovation award 2 months back. I am not biassed of course. đ
Daniel S Katz and Neil Chue Hong, Editors of the PeerJ Computer Science Special Issue âSoftware Citation, Indexing, and Discoverabilityâ discuss research and issues raised in the Special Issue, along with authors Daniel Garijo, David Schindler, and Lauren Cadwallader. Lauren Cadwallader presents âA survey of researchersâ code sharing and code reuse practices, and assessment of interactive notebook prototypesâ. Daniel Garijo presents 'Nine best practices for research software registries and repositories'. David Schindler presents âThe role of software in science: a knowledge graph-based analysis of software mentions in PubMed Central'. Daniel S. Katz and Neil Chue Hong discuss research on recognizing the value of software, and key principles in software citation.
I'm really not worried about Mastodon scaling issues at all.
When I left Twitter in 2008, we had roughly twice as many users as the current combined Mastodon network, all running on one MySQL server that had the same specs as a high-end 2013 MacBook Pro, plus roughly 10 web servers and 5 queue servers.
To be fair, growth wasn't as rapid, and we had local-infra advantages over federated systems, but these problems are solvable and I have no doubt will be fixed soon.
