 Overall checklist to "check out" and potentially populate (if points to a folder).

-- [ ] `sourcedata/raw/` -  if preparing BIDS "raw" dataset, place it there ideally as a separate

 - [ ] [`logs/`](./logs) - log files
 - [ ] this dataset should pass validation using BIDS validator, e.g. via `uvx bids-validator-deno .`

 TODO-FILL along the lines: This folder contains

-- BIDS raw dataset under `raw/` folder
+
+Some or all of the materials in this folder could be used to form the BIDS raw dataset under `../rawbids/` folder.
+
+For that, later, to satisfy the [STAMPED principle](https://stamped-principles.org/) of [Self-containment](https://examples.stamped-principles.org/stamped_principles/s/), they might be copied or otherwise efficiently linked (e.g. `git submodule` AKA ["DataLad subdataset"](https://handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/basics/101-106-nesting.html) mechanism) under `../rawbids/sourcedata/`.
+So, in principle, `sourcedata/` could altogether be a "git submodule" with all sourcedata used in both places (potentially of a different version!).
