Data

Bamboo Data houses the information gathered during the Bamboo Planning Project. While this data primarily takes the form of notes from the various workshops, the need statements and written expressions of support from the community will also be included.

The original notes, arranged by workshop, are currently on the Project Bamboo Wiki but will be relocated to Bamboo Data in the near future.

Each week we will be adding a subset of the data grouped by topic. While the early data sets will only include material from Workshop 1, these will be augmented as more of the workshop notes are processed. A summary of major findings related to the week's topic can be found on Bamboo Analysis.

While we are initially publishing the data as HTML, we welcome feedback about additional ways of presenting the data that would meet the needs of other projects. Please feel free to contact us at bamboo-analysis@lists.uchicago.edu with suggestions.
