"Project Description": "<p><a href=\"https://neurobagel.org/\">Neurobagel</a> is a tool ecosystem and network of global data nodes that lets you search for subject-level neuroscience cohorts across distributed datasets stored at other institutes or sites. To participate, institutes deploy local Neurobagel “nodes” that then connect to the global network to become discoverable and queryable.</p>\n<p>We want to make it easier to deploy a Neurobagel node so that more sites can join Neurobagel, including those with more limited technical resources. Currently, configuring a Neurobagel node requires copying and editing local configuration files by hand. This configuration is important, because it controls options such as whether queries return aggregated results or full records, and other privacy-relevant settings.</p>\n<p>The current approach is cumbersome and overwhelming for users for several reasons:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are many config options, so the template file is long and hard to edit</li>\n<li>We are actively developing Neurobagel, so new config options are regularly introduced that users then must manually update in their existing setup</li>\n<li>Neurobagel has different deployment use cases, and many config options are only relevant to certain ones</li>\n<li>Users can only find out if their config files are correct by launching the node and waiting for it to fail</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Our goal:</strong> To create a command line tool that will simplify the process of generating a valid configuration for a Neurobagel node.</p>\n<p><strong>Come talk to us if you:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Want to (learn to) build the command line tool with us</li>\n<li>and/or are interested in using Neurobagel and want to give us your view as a potential user\nWe are very excited for both kinds of contributions!</li>\n</ul>\n",
