w/r/t today’s call and @marie 's post about Student projects…
At the very end of the call @paul121 raised a good point in the chat about the Drupal learning curve, and that external tools that work w/ farmOS might be better than an actual farmOS module. That made me think back to @Farmer-Ed 's NodeRed tool, which he mentioned earlier on the call, which imports taxonomy terms into farmOS based on an outside institution’s classifications and criteria. Maybe it’s unhelpful since Eddie has already built it, but seems like a good example at least. My ears also perked up when I heard about FiberShed’s involvement, b/c weren’t they participating in some OpenTEAM / Wolfe’s Neck projects, or am I imagining that? B/c that could open up pathways for separate student projects to potentially improve on each other, if there was some way farmOS data could be imported/exported and passed back and forth with the tool FiberShed wants built. Maybe that’s a stretch, but it does seem like there could be other non-profit orgs, who also farm or work with farmers and would make a good partner, rather than a small/for-profit farm, since they’d be more likely to have dedicated staff that can work with the students, especially during planting season. And there are other such orgs who’ve collaborated w/ farmOS/OpenTEAM in the past, whether I’m correct about FiberShed or not.
