A general note of interest for babase users with a specific question for
Karl.
The swelling size data for females has 276 records where the team
recorded a 0-1 swelling size. These data were input into a spreadsheet
as 0.5, but the data type for this column in Babase 2.0 is
integer...which means that I can't upload these decimal values from the
spreadsheet to Babase 2.0.
Per a discussion with Jeanne, I will change all these data from 0.5 to 1
in the spreadsheet so they can be uploaded. We considered documenting
this change on the sexskin sheets, as we do for most changes, but since
there are 276 records that need changing, it seems easier just to
include this in the sexskin documentation.
Karl, does this make sense, and can you make the appropriate changes to
the technical documentation? Can you think of other places where I
should note this change?
Thanks,
Tabby
