make Human Cell Atlas datasets installable

[massonix]

Hi Aaron,

I'm currently creating an atlas of all cell types and states in a secondary lymphoid organ in the context of the Human Cell Atlas. As part of the publication, I'm preparing an R package that would allow users to install our data, load it and annotate unseen cell types using our reference.

I read the instructions and a prerequisite is that the data is published. Is there any way I could still leverage the scRNAseq to allow users to install our data as a SingleCellExperiment object?

Thanks so much in advance!

It is... possible, I suppose. The publication prerequisite exists because I don't want scRNAseq being the "source of truth" for the data; this is a job I would rather leave to GEO and related repositories. However, if you have the data in some permanent location somewhere (e.g., Zenodo), then I suppose it would be fine to have scRNAseq provide access to it.
