`feather` is a good idea for caching. I'm hearing make it a suggestion is the way forward and not a dependency? What do we do about migrating projects? Keep it...

This looks good. If `feather` is an optional dependency, we will need a way to select `feather` or `rData` in the config, with `rData` the default.

We should choose one. `ProjectTemplate` is meant to be opinionated. While `fst` is faster in some circumstances, it does still return a `dataframe`. We've made the decision to move towards...

Has this issue been raised with the `feather` maintainers? I like checking that the result is the same. A bit concerned that there will be a mixture of `.RData` and...

Hi, This sounds like a really great idea! What I would like to do for compatibility is a staged approach: 1. Start by making this an option in the config...

I don't think this is possible. The cache code calls `eval` on the code in the curly braces. `eval` doesn't have error trapping capabilities. That is, it doesn't return a...

I like if the cache can tell if the file has changed. This should make workflow easier. The only edge case I can see are researchers working with unstable data...

Comparing created and modified timestamps is risky. Sometimes modified timestamps are updated by the operating system even though nothing has changed in the filed. Asking a user each time a...

Yes call `clear.cache()` before `load.project()`. What I do is call clear.cached with datasets I expect will be updated. I'll often make a call to a database. It's difficult for ProjectTemplate...

We would also need to consider if `assertive` will work with `travis`.
