Organize events as issues?

Open mrocklin opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

Right now we seem to be putting events into the readme. At times I have questions or comments on these events. Github issues might be a more appropriate medium to discuss particular events.

It might also be good for events to be inspired or connected to a particular known application. This might help to serve as an authority on the rules/constraints of an event.

For example one of the events was "sort by some index, then get the last entry." I would say that this is likely to be better accomplished by a topk algorithm but I'm actually not sure what the objective of the event was. Was it to test distributed sort? Was it to solve a particular kind of problem?

Great call to reorganize. We should probably use wiki pages to consolidate ideas for each event (one for each), as we can easily export from there later, and starting an issue alongside each one for discussion sounds great too!

I can start the wiki pages if you want to open a couple issues.
