Open Access Media Importer ready for code review; Featured content
Open Access Media Importer tests continued
The bot tests begun last month have continued in August and led to a number of changes in the code in order to render file names and categories more useful, to increase user friendliness and to improve error handling. A good number of issues remain but the basic functionality is stable, and code review is welcome.
To provide an idea of the breadth of the materials imported this way, a few examples are embedded below.
-
Alignment during waggle dance between bees of two different species.
-
Robots learning to cooperate.
