<strong>Abstract:</strong> VertNet mobilizes biodiversity data (not
just vertebrates) for a broad spectrum of natural history
collections. Part of VertNet's mission is to help data publishers in
every way we can. One way to help is to set up, demonstrate, and use<em>
a common </em><em>centralized reporting mechanism that </em><em>makes
it easy for data publishers to receive and manage feedback about
their published data</em>. GitHub provides all of the necessary
infrastructure to do this for free, including version control for
files, issue tracking, email integration, and an Application
Programming Interface (API). <em>We will discuss and demon</em><em>str</em><em>ate
how VertNet uses each of these aspects of GitHub to capture and
manage user feedback, usage statistics, and bulk data quality
reports</em>.<br>
<br>
Thanks @VertNetOrg for putting this together.<br>
<br>
See you there!<br>
