Ab automation

made changes to the repository to make sure all list changes we can edit are automated.

Hi Amanda - it's looking great. What a lot of work! I've spotted one thing in vocab.py statuses_rename, Endangered is being set twice so it will be set to Vulnerable:

"Victoria": { "Extinct": "Extinct", "Extinct in the Wild": "Extinct in the Wild", "Endangered (Extinct in Victoria)": "Extinct in the Wild", "Critically Endangered": "Critically Endangered", "Endangered": "Endangered", "Endangered": "Vulnerable", "Conservation Dependent": "Conservation Dependent", "Restricted": "Restricted" },

I only spotted 2 very minor typos in comments:

• ingest_lists.py Line 18: 'states' should be 'state'
• list_functions.py Line 63: 'colums' should be 'columns' (I'm thinking this may have been mine originally!)

A couple of minor questions:

• vocab.py: for the various dictionaries is there a process going forward to keep these updated. Particularly the species corrections.
• Email addresses - will there be a generic email address that goes to a group of recipients

@rosemaryjoconnor :

Thanks for the review! I've made the changes you have suggested, and will push them later today. To answer your questions:

"vocab.py: for the various dictionaries is there a process going forward to keep these updated. Particularly the species corrections."

Not explicitly, no. From what I remember, these were put in place to make sure that the species matched to something while some of the taxonomy is updated, as well as namematching and sensitive lists. @Sherrin-ALA can you confirm this?

"Email addresses - will there be a generic email address that goes to a group of recipients"

Yes - "authoritative-list-updates@ala.org.au" - this will email myself, Peggy and Cam (and maybe Simon?)

@Sherrin-ALA:

Looking at your questions, the name added at line 51 is from one of the Jupyter notebooks I was given as the basis of this automation. I believe that this was added to the list, as it should have been there but wasn't originally on the list.

Line 105 is a typo, and should have been 'TAXON_LEVEL_CDE' - thanks for catching it! I've edited it and will include it in the latest changes
