is there a forum or location for iNat programmers to share R scripts?
Recently a bioblitz was held locally and i was asked if there was a way to track volunteer effort.
My R scripts are rusty but i do know that it is possible to access the iNat dbase directly (as opposed to downloading all the records associated with the project).
Does anyone have an existing script, or have one that could be modified, or is interested in writing/sharing a new script?
STEPS
Access list of iNat memberIDs associated with a project
Determine the start and end time of the DateObserved associated with their observations
Determine the start and end time of the DateAdded associated with their observations
Once the basic script works then it could be revised as people may have collected observations on different days and they may have uploaded observations in spurts.
Second part could look at effort from identifiers.
Creating such a script would be useful to many groups in the iNat community.
Thanks
