Context

Following GCC2016 lightning talk, and in the context of the french National Museum of Natural History MNHN project "65 Millions d'observateurs" dedicated to enhance and expand participation to citizen sciences projects studying biodiversity, a proof of concept of analysis web platform in macroecology will be made. We propose for this to use the Galaxy web platform. Here is the origin of a Galaxy-E, for Ecology ?

Galaxy-E

This repository will gather ideas and development of Galaxy-E tools

A dedicated French version of Galaxy

Galaxy i18n is almost here, translations still welcomed!

  • TRIM is now also available as R package (rtrim, via install.packages("rtrim") from CRAN). This will make it much more easy for many of you to calculate trends. But remember to have the input file in good order (so with missing values and zeroes). Of course you can also use the result of Reto's regional_gam (https://github.com/RetoSchmucki/regionalGAM/blob/master/README.md) as input.
  • Manuals and helpfiles are available via https://github.com/markvanderloo/rtrim
  • CBS also made their Multi Species Indicator tool available: https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/maatschappij/natuur-en-milieu/indexen-en-trends--trim--/msi-tool. With this tool you can build your own indicators from the results of rtrim.

  • Shiny and reproducibility through interactive document concept
    • rmarkdown, a new way to build Shiny apps through interactive documents

    Interactive documents will not replace standard Shiny apps since they cannot provide the design options that come with a ui.R or index.html file. However, interactive documents do create some easy wins:
    
    

  The R Markdown workflow makes it easy to build light-weight apps. You do not need to worry about laying out your app or building an HTML user interface for the app.

  You can use R Markdown to create interactive slideshows, something that is difficult to do with Shiny alone. To create a slideshow, change output: html_document to output: ioslides_presentation in the YAML front matter of your .Rmd file. R Markdown will divide your document into slides when you click “Run Document.” A new slide will begin whenever a header or horizontal rule (***) appears.

  Interactive documents enhance the existing R Markdown workflow. R Markdown makes it easy to write literate programs and reproducible reports. You can make these reports even more effective by adding Shiny to the mix.
