Make this repository WOW ?

[brucellino]

I applaud the choice to make this consultation an Open process. Perhaps the authors/maintainers have heard of the Mozilla Science Working Open Workshops ? I think that aspects of WOW would make it easier and more attractive to contribute.

I think it would help to clarify a few aspects of this repository though :

Personas and pathways

See http://mozillascience.github.io/working-open-workshop/personas_pathways/

1. Who (person/group) started it ? It belongs to @FAIR-Data-EG , but this has only one public member. Apart from knowing that it will inform the EOSC, it is not clear to me who is behind this.
2. It would help to explain who the authors are (perhaps have an Authors file, with some description of how one gets included.
3. What other forms of contributions are recognised ? How are these recognised ?

Any ideas or comments on this ?

In an attempt to answer my own questions, I think the answer to

1. Who (person/group) started it ? It belongs to @FAIR-Data-EG , but this has only one public member.
   Apart from knowing that it will inform the EOSC, it is not clear to me who is behind this.
2. It would help to explain who the authors are

is at http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regexpert/index.cfm?do=groupDetail.groupDetail&groupID=3464

I guess it would be nice to have some discussion around 3. then.

Thanks, we'll look into WOW. The consultation is accompanied by an EU-hosted website, which contains background information on the group members but is unfortunately not public yet (I don't know what the reason for that is).

Thanks for the comments @brucellino and sorry it's taken me so long to respond.

I've just added an authors file so you can get the bios of the expert group members. This info will go on the EC's website too but they're doing a redesign so we're waiting for that to go live first.

I will also raise your question about how contributors are recognised on the next call we have. I expect we'll have an appendix or reference in the report where we can name-check people that have contributed during this consultation.
