Hello @datacarpentry/r-socialsci-maintainers, I have opened #423 and created the pre-beta snapshot of the lesson at https://github.com/fishtree-attempt/r-socialsci. I have invited all the maintainers on this lesson to a team that has maintain access for the lesson. This version of the lesson is a snapshot and is available for you to play around with and test out without risk of affecting the lesson as a whole. In 28 days, I will perform the full conversion on this lesson. As a reminder, you can check out the setup instructions to get yourself ready to build it locally. Here are some tasks that you can try out during this 28 day period and please take a minute to give some feedback: https://carpentries.typeform.com/to/KRBl4IZM
If you have any questions, feel free to ask! |

Hi @datacarpentry/r-socialsci-maintainers, We are coming up on two weeks until we enter the beta stage of the Workbench beta phase, during which this repository will be irreversibly altered. Please note that if you are not yet prepared for this change, we can delay the transition Just a reminder that before the transition, all of the current pull requests must be resolved. I also highly recommend for you to play around with the snapshot repository! You all have full maintain access and are free to do whatever you like. Here are some options:
As always, please provide feedback about your experience with the workbench. |

Workbench Beta Phase Timeframe Adjustment
The beta phase has been in progress since the end of October, but because of various changing circumstances, I will be pushing back the beta phase timeline according to the revised schedule below, synchronising all of the beta phase repositories. With this new timeline, you will have more time to explore the repository snapshots, I will have time to provide more clear communications, and—because everyone will go through each stage synchronously—you will all be able to exchange tips and tricks together. Note that Toby Hodges, Vini Salazar, and I will be hosting weekly helpdesk sessions, whose times we will send to you soon. Here is the revised schedule, which you can also find on The Workbench beta phase website:
We will make the conversion of all of our lessons to use The Workbench on 2023-05-01 Thank you once again for agreeing to participate in the beta phase of The Carpentries Workbench. Your efforts in testing the infrastructure on your established lessons are invaluable to improving the workbench and I want to make sure that we take the time to get that right. |

Hello and happy new year! This is a reminder that on 06 February 2023 (just under four weeks away), your lesson repositories will be transformed to use The Carpentries Workbench. This is the irreversible second stage of the beta phase where the Workbench version of the lesson will be live and the styles version will be frozen. Before 06 February 2023
After 06 February 2023The lesson repository will change with a trimmed-down git history that reflects authorship. To prevent accidental overwriting of repository content, I will temporarily change your access to the repository as ‘read-only’. To regain ‘maintain’ access,

Hello Maintainers, Today is the day the lesson transitions into the second stage of the beta phase 🎉 I have created lesson release for this lesson and also have downloaded an archive of the repository and all associated comments. Before the end of the day, I will do the following:
Once the transition happens, I will give access to those who follow the instructions:
Thank you all for the commitment to testing this out and for all your feedback so far! |

Thank you all for your hard work getting the pull requests merged and giving feedback. Now that you all have access, here are some resources that can help you understand how to handle the transition:
I will be creating an pull request from an out-of-date repository tomorrow so that you can see what happens. If everything works the way I've planned, the pull request should fail. |

I have created a video that describes situations where folks will accidentally create PRs from styles repositories, as documented in The Transition from Carpentries to Styles section in the Pull request documentation: https://youtu.be/FRZKbCz-9Eo (note that this only applies to R-based lessons) Some of you may have seen #433 come through and that was what I was demonstrating in the video. |

Hello @datacarpentry/r-socialsci-maintainers,
Thank you for your patience during the last quarter.
I am pleased to announce that the transition to beta phase for this lesson will take place in 3 weeks on 2022-10-23.
Timing
the beta phase is divided into the following schedule of stages
Please let me know if this does not work for you and I will do my best to accommodate.
Importantly: please resolve (close or merge) any open pull requests before 2022-11-21 because the beta stage will involve changing the folder structure of this repository which will render any existing pull requests invalid.
Pre Beta Tasks
During this first pre-beta stage of the Beta Phase, I will give you access to https://github.com/fishtree-attempt/r-socialsci and encourage you to test out the following things on the lesson to get familiar with The Workbench. Here are some suggestions:
I will be recording a short video describing the changes you will see in the next week, so be sure to keep your eyes out for that.
