#2203: Data Viewer support for PDF

rgrp — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 11:24:53 GMT

Boot viewer for format/mimetype: application/pdf, application/x-pdf, application/acrobat, applications/vnd.pdf, text/pdf, text/x-pdf
propose we use pdf.js - https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js
We could also try iframing for browsers with native support but this seems more complex

#1171: Citation instructions on dataset and resource view pages

dread — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 09:33:19 GMT

Some sort of citation helper. Something small on the dataset and resource page that would show how to cite.

wwaites: Some related thoughts on this from opb: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/opb/papers/ssdbm2006.pdf

timclicks: I'm looking at Dataverse for the first time[0]. It seems very popular in the social sciences. I noticed that there is a recommended citation for each dataset. For example, [1] is has this one: "Targeted Input Programme (TIP) 2000-01", http://hdl.handle.net/1902.1/SSC-MWI-TIP2000-01-M1 V1 [Version]"

Implementation

Add a small box at bottom of dataset / resource page (or in sidebar on dataset page) with title "Cite this" with contents like:

%title. %author. Retrieved %date. %site_title.

For resource: %title = %dataset_title. %resource_name.

Could also add export to ref managers (e.g. to bibtex) but that is for later.

#1823: Spring clean bin directory

rgrp — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:28:51 GMT

Huge number of accumulated (and likely unnecessary) scripts in /bin directory.

#2258: Customizable contributor agreement

rgrp — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:45:49 GMT

Customize text at bottom of forms
Also need to make clear that this does not apply to the data itself (that is covered by the license you choose on your dataset ...)
