Added initial US data list #39

@trobbins I just noticed (should have done better code review ;-)) that a lot of the items have no info other than the title. At the very least we need the key column to be non-empty.

Should I just generate some keys for them in an automated fashion or do you want to add these properly?

todrobbins commented 11 years ago

Doh! Automated is fine. Sorry about that.

wombleton commented 11 years ago

I could probably just update the code to generate a key based on the title.

rufuspollock commented 11 years ago

@wombleton I think we should definitely have this in the data rather than the frontend as people may be grabbing the data directly but other than that very happy for you to fix :-)

BTW there is an existing simple python normalizer script here: https://github.com/okfn/publicbodies/blob/914e6c0497e33d4e23e4ebd550cd86abdacf2e6e/scripts/process.py#L6 (i think it is gone in the refactor)
