Hamishmar Votes Data should include member ID instead of name #18

Closed OriHoch closed 7 years ago

OriHoch commented 8 years ago

Currently Hamishmar votes data csv file contains a list of member names

This is a problem because the spelling they use is different then Knesset spelling.

Hamishmar will do a change on their side which will allow them to export the member IDs (same as the official Knesset ID which is the same as the Open Knesset Member ID as well)

Update (May.10) - we got the updated format, see the comment below

OriHoch commented 8 years ago

the updated csv format: votes.csv

the required change is in non_knesset_data/hamishmar_votes.py and the corresponding tests are at non_knesset_data/tests/test_hamishmar_votes.py

not sure if it's still needed, closing for now, and will keep tracking in the open knesset issue hasadna/Open-Knesset#502
