Actually, I should repeat what I just told Maja, now for everyone in the team: Open Ethnographer now supports collaborative coding. @amelia @SZdenek @Jan @Richard @Jirka_Kocian @supernova @Maja
Instructions
In the auto-suggest list of codes you see when coding with Open Ethnographer, so far only your own codes were shown. You can now let Open Ethnographer suggest codes that your fellow ethnographers applied throughout the same coding project (here, ethno-poprebel).
To do that, you first have to choose your coding project once (and then every time when you move to work on a different project). To do so:
- Go the Open Ethnographer interface.
- Click “User Settings → [your user] → Edit User Settings”.
- Under “Discourse tag”, select the tag applied to posts in your coding project, namely
ethno-poprebelin this case. - Click “Update User Settings”.
Note that, as a side effect, Open Ethnographer will not include all of your own codes in the suggestions, but only those that you used before in the current coding project. You can always switch back to the old behavior or “show only my own codes independent of coding project, and nothing of others” by selecting “no tag” in the above setting.
(This is also documented in the manual now.)
Background
This implements what Amelia requested at the beginning of this topic (see the quote below). Just that code names are not proposed additionally in English if a code name of the same code has already been included in the coding user’s language. (We’ll get that fixed, but it should be a minor issue to be aware of for now.)
