Add the ASCL repository to the dashboard #84

Met Alice Allen, an editor for the Astrophysics Source Code Library. She would love to see her trove of research software catalogued in the dashboard. It's about 1200 repositories, so it'll be nice to have. The API isn't too search friendly (you can only grab by modified time stamps essentially), so she was kind enough to actually email me the entire existing dataset in JSON.

we'll have to talk about how and where we want to persist that data, and query against it. But I would definitely love to see this added in. Any thoughts, feel free to discuss

@lukecoy How is the data formatted (one file, multiple files, in a directory structure)? Is it all metadata with links to actual code? Also, how large is the entire thing?

lukecoy commented 8 years ago

it's not big. about 1300 entries.

happy to report that I have a fts (full text searchable) instance of sqlite running, with all of the data appropriately formatted. super cool.
