Standardize names of partner agencies #233

Open gboone opened 9 years ago

Looking up partner agencies is a bit clunky right now because we're inconsistently naming them in the partner field. For example, on api.data.gov we list "GSA" among the partner agencies but elsewhere we spell out the full name "General Services Administration." We also use acronyms where we should be spelling out the full agency name. FCC for example is a commonly known agency but the National Renewable Energy Laboratory is less commonly known as NREL.

I can help with this; had to solve the same problem for intake tracking.
