Documentation for working with data? #85

Hi,

Great work y'all have done. Truly appreciate it. It's a force for the greater good. I looked at the wiki, the documentation on the workflow, and the data dictionary, but I'm wondering if you have any other resources for looking at the data and getting a handle on it? It's a bit unwieldy and hard to know where to start. I'm playing around some with the data now as well, and I'm not sure if what I'm doing is correct or not, and certain things I'm seeing I'm not sure what they mean (e.g. complaints-complaints with complaints-accused I find not every cr_id matches up and also there are complaints going all the way back to 1919).
