Containers may be a bit difficult, but every researcher should be capable of using a VM and distributing it.

I'm excited if I can get my colleagues to use version control.

Do you think that they would use a VCS that was less invasive and more transparent to their workflow, like dropbox?

I'm thinking of making a VCS that simply runs in the background and

- Automatically records every file save (effectively a git commit without a message)

- Allows adding messages through tagging (like git tag)

- Handles 'branching' just by asking you make a copy of the directory with a different name, properly understands how to diff/merge/etc copied files/directories that have since diverged.

- Has built in support for large files

Git is way more complicated than VMware.

You obviously don't know many researchers (if any).
