Add a new dataset

Handling metadata submission

Open up the submission in the Google Form
Make sure they've clicked "Yes" to the first four questions
Create a branch with the dataset name: generally "d" + date + last name (e.g. d20200407_WANG)
Create a new issue with the dataset name, and give it a "data" label
Copy (not move) the /inst/extdata/TEMPLATE/ folder into inst/extdata/datasets and rename it to the dataset name
If using Outlook open the email template is in /misc/COSORE submission - [questions and] upload link for $DATASET.emltpl. Open it; dataset name goes in subject line

As you're working through the following, fill in any questions in the email. Common question: complex experimental design (ask them to explain fully), no publications listed (confirm), measurement instrument not given or unclear,
Open the DESCRIPTION.txt, CONTRIBUTORS.txt and PORTS.txt files
Fill in the CONTRIBUTORS.txt entries from the "Contributor(s)" section of the form
Fill in the first part of DESCRIPTION.txt from the entries in the "Site" section of the form. Note exceptions: "Primary species present" goes into PORTS.txt, and "Ecosystem age" goes into ANCILLARY.csv
Fill in last part of DESCRIPTION.txt from the entries in the "Publications" section of the form
Under "Measurement protocols", "Measurement instrument", "Measurement length", and the two timestamp questions go into DESCRIPTION.txt

Fill in various fields in PORTS.txt from the rest of the "Measurement protocols" section. Currently Yes/No map to TRUE/FALSE - should standardize this
Look at ancillary data questions and keep in mind

Create a new Dropbox file request with the dataset name; copy the upload link to the email
Make sure email has PI name, email, site name, etc., correctly filled in and send
Note in GitHub issue "Metadata, upload link sent." or similar language
Open RStudio project file. Build package. The new dataset should be listed at the end of the list_datasets() output. Confirm that read_dataset() will parse it; fix any errors if not
Make a commit message of "Metadata for #xxx" (fill in the issue number)
Push and open a PR if you want
Note at this point you can use csr_report_dataset() to generate a report-may be handy to check map, etc.; but I usually do this only after data ingest
