As someone who is posting their daily research to github, I recognize what @CameronNeylon:disqusÂ  is saying about the broader lack of standards to move research around, even though it works well for code.Â

I think this misses the bigger issue though -- I feel the social challenges are far greater than the technical ones.Â  Wired's github piece already eludes to this -- obviously github didn't invent git, it solved a primarily social problem instead. I believe many researchers are sharing exactly as much as they want to. Incentive them to share more, and collectively we'll discover much better solutions to the technical barriers those of us trying to share already bang our heads against.Â  Maybe?
