get observers list from litterfall data and use it to populate the observers autocomplete? #35

Have we not done that already?

mpitser commented 11 years ago

yes, but we took the list from the tree data not hte litterfall data.... so we only get things like asdf and MAllory and Boyd? instead of actual names of people who actually collected data. However, it also doesn't actually seem reasonable to use all the names of epople who collected data from 10 years ago.... so I'm thinking we just keep the autocomplete in place, and grab the names for future data.

oh, ok—i mistake litterfall for tree data. we can easily limit the time range when we query for the observers list in the python script.

ok, i added constraints on the MongoDB request for observers list, so that it will only give us observers from the last four years (because college is four-year!—though I sense that something is wrong with my logic here)
