Playfair Projects

This is where we'll be organizing our pitching/writing/etc process for all of the Lede Program's Playfair projects.

Introduction

Playfair is a way for both current and previous students to stay on top of analysis, visualization, and all the arcane corners of data. Our goals are:

• Create quality portfolio pieces through a process that involves feedback and editorial oversight.
• Give and receive feedback to make our projects collectively better, along with making sure we're functional members of society.
• Create documentation of our processes so that others can learn from what we've created (and the really intense can reproduce and check our work)

Sounds good?

The Pitching/Submitting Process

You can read detailed instructions in PITCHING.md and SUBMISSION.md, but a summary is below.

1. Submit a pitch with [Pitch] in the issue title.
2. Get some feedback and respond to that feedback.
3. You'll then get editorial feedback and hopefully approval.
4. Create a story issue.
5. Post updates and get feedback and post more updates
6. When you're done with your content, send a pull request that includes your story issue number mine was #2
7. If everything looks good, your pull request will be approved and the story issue closed

You must submit and complete a checklist as the first step to pitching/story submission/pull request-ing.

• Pitch issue checklist
• Story issue checklist
• Pull request checklist

Story submission format

You can read detailed instructions in SUBMISSION.md. After you fork the repository, create your directories and complete your story, be sure to include the following in your pull request.

• a correctly-formatted STORY.md file
• README.md, summary of how you did your project
• DIARY.md, a disorganized mess keeping track of your process
• any images or code you used in the process of writing your story/building your visual
