Title:
BIDS Curation GUI - A Graphical User Interface to help with BIDS Curation

Project lead:
Maggie Mahan @margaretmahan, Andy Worth @AndysWorth

Timezone:
UTC-5

Hub:
The Americas

Description:
Getting data into the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) format is non-trivial. Ideally, you set scan acquisition parameters in preparation for BIDS, but mistakes will be made. Non-ideally, you have an old set of scans you want to BIDSify. Wouldn't it be great if you could "see" the entire situation so you can easily locate and understand the problems? Wouldn't you like this picture to come alive to help you curate your data?

Goals for the OHBM Brainhack

• Find out how a GUI can help understand and detect errors in BIDS curation.
• Learn new skills
• Contribute to reproducible research

Good first issues:

• Refine project goals and technology to use
• Establish basic GUI using React
• Establish basic workflow based on ReproIn, HeuDiConv, and the BIDS-Validator
• Create project logo
• Initial artwork for the GUI

Skills:

• BIDS, Python, Docker, git
• React, JavaScript
• Familiarity with MRI data acquisition and how it can go wrong.
• Graphic design

Project submission

Submission checklist

Once the issue is submitted, please check items in this list as you add under 'Additional project info'

Please include the following above (all required):

• Link to your project: could be a code repository, a shared document, etc. See here
• Include your Mattermost handle (i.e. your username). If you do not have an account, please sign up here.
• Goals for the OHBM Brainhack: describe what you want to achieve during this brainhack. See here.
• Flesh out at least 2 "good first issues": those are tasks that do not require any prior knowledge about your project, could be defined as issues in a GitHub repository, or in a shared document, cf here.
• Skills: list skills that would be particularly suitable for your project. We ask you to include at least one non-coding skill, cf. here.
• Chat channel: A link to a chat channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack. This can be an existing channel or a new one. We recommend using the Brainhack space on mattermost, cf. here.
• Video channel: Please create a video channel that will be used during the OHBM Brainhack and share it in your chat channel above. This can be an existing channel or a new one. For instance a jitsi meet room, cf. here.
• Provide an image of your project for the OHBM brainhack website

You can also include information about (all optional):

• Number of participants, cf. here
• Twitter-size summary of your project pitch, cf. here
• Set up a kanban board on your repository to better divide the work and keep track of things, cf here
• Project snippet for the OHBM Brainhack website, cf. here

We would like to think about how you will credit and onboard new members to your project. We recommend reading references from this section. If you'd like to share your thoughts with future project participants, you can include information about (recommended):

• Specify how will you acknowledge contributions (e.g. listing members on a contributing page).
• Provide links to onboarding documents if you have some.
