Hello again,
There are a couple of you who I'm definitely spamming by now - sorry!
I mentioned on Monday my plans to create a dataset on the pubs we visit on
crawls. I have various ideas but I'd really like to hear other people
thoughts before I start something and only realise later that I've done it
all wrong....
Thoughts and ideas fall into the following themes:
- how to set up the data well so it's easy to manipulate later
- what kind of stuff you'd like to know about pubs
- where is the map and how can we link it up
Martin made a very good point that it's not all about the cash, so am
definitely going to add in some measure of 'atmosphere' but not completely
decided how to do that yet. Other ideas for non-money measures welcome.
Crawl organisers: is there anything you'd find useful when thinking about
which pubs to choose?
Everyone: feel free to suggest whatever you think might be interesting to
see - I guarantee you that it will be easier to add in now rather than
later.
For those who care: I'm thinking of using excel because we have it at work
so I'm probably best at it. I've dabbled in R before but it feels a bit
overkill for this. Other software suggestions welcome. The other benefit to
excel is that I think you can use excel online to share and edit. I've
tried google sheets but it frustrates me by not being excel...
I'm happy to take thoughts by email or over the phone, and if there's
sufficient interest we could have a pre- or post-practice group brainstorm
in the next few weeks - or even not on a practice night if that'd work
better.
And now I think that's all the emails I'm bombarding you with this
evening...
Happy Wednesday!
Emma
