This is a more technical blog post that shows a user how to setup and download an IPUMS extract using the IPUMS.jl package. Users can download IPUMS extracts in two ways, either through the IPUMS website or through the package IPUMS.jl. This blog post should introduce the user to using the download API in the package to create and download an extract file.
Another way of phrasing this task is to recreate the ipumsr R package post, but with a focus on the Julia IPUMS.jl package.
documentation channel - you should post here first
helpdesk channel - this would be to get more attention to your issue but maybe not as precise as you need.
health-and-medicine channel - this is where most of JuliaHealth is located these days.
Julia Discourse - I would advise posting here if you have an issue that you feel is long or requires a lot of time to explain as you might lose it within Julia Slack. Consider cross-posting your forum post to the Julia Slack in helpdesk and/or documentation.
This looks like a good write-up @00krishna. I actually think this might be better to put into the documentation of the package versus a separate blog post on the JuliaHealth website. What's your opinion Krishna?
