Follow-up Comment #1:

This is a good point! Once we make a webpage/documentation we should add a
"Tips" or "Guidelines" section which can be very useful for beginners. 

Many people are SUPER-interested in properly organizing their research
analysis steps using something like this template. But they need guidance/tips
on how to effectively do so. Afterall, as natural scientists, we are not well
trained in software egineering tools: many don't even know Git (but fall in
love it once they learn it!).

Because of this, even at this early stage, based on my experience with new
adopters of this template, I felt that its necessary to add a Tips for
designing your project
<http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/reproduce.git/tree/README-hacking.md#n762>
in the `README-hacking.md. 

So indeed, I feel we really need to add a section with useful tips on using
various software reproducibly.

Since the discussion seemed to be more about adding documentation with
tips/FAQs for using software reproducibly, I changed the tile of this task. 

Let's use this task to share any tips we find based on experience (like the
one you just reported). This way, we won't loose the good points until that a
special page is setup for this job.
