The Blackroom is a community site for researchers who are signed up to work with the Blackbox data collection project.

We are pleased to launch the Blackroom (based on our existing Blueroom/Greenroom technology) as a space for researchers to discuss issues related to the Blackbox data collection project, and share information, code and tools.
