Increasing Productivity Using Disqus on Git Pages
Git Pages or Github Pages
This is a git page. We are using git pages to replace word documents, powerpoint presentations, emails, etc. that you would typically use to describe research concepts on a day to day basis to other researchers. The main advantages are centrality and accessibility saving time wasted looking for emails, attachments, documents that are buried and/or outdated.
Disqus
Disqus is an comment posting service used by many different web services including Github. Anyone with a Disqus account can leave comments on a git page, no Github account required.

Workflow using Git Pages and Disqus in between physical meetings
Begin

- Student makes a git page on the GOALI project website.
Scenario A: discussion through email
- Student emails the GOALI group that their input is desired, includes link to git page.
- GOALI group members provide thoughts through email. If information is generated that should be included on a gitpage, it can be added later.
