Please feel free to post ideas in the [Github Issues](https://github.com/egap/theory_and_practice_of_field_experiments/issues). Also feel free to [Fork](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/) and modify and make a pull request. If you have a message to send, the best way is to use the [Issues](https://github.com/egap/theory_and_practice_of_field_experiments/issues). You can also send an email to \u003cadmin@egap.org\u003e.\n\nChanges to this repository are governed by the [governance model](GOVERNANCE.md): briefly, the model requires unanimous agreement among the named authors to accept changes.\n\nIf you want to work on the slides, you should go to [the Learning Days Resources repository](https://github.com/egap/learningdays-resources/).\n\n## Tools\n\nHere we describe how we develop this book and provide some guidance for people who want to collaborate with us in writing etc.\n\n### Markdown\n\nWe write the text for the modules in Markdown format. The slides are in R+Markdown format.\n\nIf you want help making tables, you can try the following online tool \u003chttps://thisdavej.com/copy-table-in-excel-and-paste-as-a-markdown-table/\u003e.\n\n### R packages\n\nWe are also using the [renv](https://rstudio.github.io/renv/index.html) package to keep our libraries portable. So, before you start collaborating you will need to do the following:\n\n```\ninstall.packages(\"renv\")\n```\n\nAfter you clone this repository you will want to do the following from within the `Book` working directory (for example opening the `learningday-book.Rproj` file in RStudio) to install all of the packages we use in this book do:\n\n```\nrenv::restore()\n```\n\nThen you will need to restart R so that it begins work in the new R environment that we have created.\n\nThat command will read the `renv.lock` file \n\nFrom then on, if you start R from within the book directory, you should be only using R packages installed locally and they need not clutter your whole system just to work on this book project. For example you should see something like this at the top of your R session console.\n\n```\n* Project '~/Documents/PROJECTS/theory_and_practice_of_field_experiments/Book' loaded. [renv 0.11.0]\n```\n\nWe use the `bookdown` package. So you will need to `install.packages(\"bookdown\")` before loading the `theory_and_practice_of_field_experiments.Rproj` file in RStudio.\n\n###  To Deploy the Book Online\n\nThe book will automatically be built and deployed online for each push to the repository using github actions.\n\n#### To build by hand\n\nBefore using github actions we used the `_build.sh`  bash shell script for building locally OR we used the \"Build Book\" function in RStudio. Either way allows you to look at `_book/index.html` or the pdf or epub versions of the book on your own computer.\n  \n## License\n\nWe are happy for others to use this work as long as EGAP is attributed.
