We'll be organizing some initial team discussions to hash out the details of this work. If you'd like to hop on a call and discuss, please reply here and you'll be contacted when we start organizing virtual meetings.

We will certainly need a broad set of skills - both on the technical side and for project management. If you're on the fence about whether you think this project is right for you, please lean toward volunteering. If you ever decide in the future that the fit isn't right we will understand!

If possible, please a brief description of your background/expertise.

[dgkf]

Thanks all for the enthusiasm so far. We're starting to get a good critical mass!

Just so everyone knows what the next steps are, the plan at the moment is to do a kickoff following this year's R/Pharma. @Crosita and I will be giving a plug for the group, and I'm hoping that draws a few more eyes. To ride that momentum, we plan to do a kickoff shortly after where we'll start to flesh out exactly what we're setting out to achieve.

If you haven't already, please read through the README on the repo homepage. I also enabled Discussions in this project, so we can use those for some asynchronous ideation prior to the kickoff.

I am currently responsible to manage a repository at a pharmaceutical company, and I would love to have an aligned process and a "trustworthy" source for packages aiming at clinical reporting.

Thanks everyone who has signed up. We're just about to shoot off details for a kick-off meeting, but before we do we need an email address for a couple of you.
