Tutorial: Contributing to Core Datasets #90

Closed rufuspollock closed 8 years ago

rufuspollock commented 8 years ago

[ ] Intro to Data Packages - can reference FrictionlessData.io
[ ] Details of core datasets project
[ ] Walkthrough of packaging a dataset in the "right way"

@gsilvapt creating this to detail what we have on this site vs frictionlessdata.io. I think we can make this a top priority.

Considering the structure proposed in issue #94, the following pages should be created/get resources from the corresponding pages:

/core-datasets/ - maybe just use https://github.com/okfn/okfn.github.com/blob/master/blog/_posts/2015-01-03-data-curators-wanted-for-core-datasets.md
/core-datasets/guide/ - core data curators guide - copy this over from https://github.com/okfn/data.okfn.org-new/blob/master/doc/core-data-curators.md and then start merging Gustavo’s material from e.g. http://okfnlabs.org/handbook/core-guides/core-data-curators/ and get started etc

I think this issue is done, even though we will need to go through it again in a later stage?

As per https://github.com/okfn/handbook/issues/89#issuecomment-218984163 i am re-opening. Please link to pages that resolve and we can close.

This link guides you through the process of creating a data package: http://okfnlabs.org/handbook/core-guides/core-data-curators/

@gsilvapt great progress.

Some thoughts:

Existing material. We already have:

I would suggest we port these over first (unchanged). So we would have:

# index page is basically https://github.com/okfn/data.okfn.org-new/blob/master/views/core-datasets.html
/handbook/core-datasets/

# content of https://github.com/okfn/data.okfn.org-new/blob/master/doc/core-data-curators.md
/handbook/core-datasets/guide/

# move your current content e.g. http://okfnlabs.org/handbook/core-guides/core-data-curators/ to this location
/handbook/core-datasets/preparing-data/

In general, worth setting out this kind of info architecture yourself in advance of implementation so we can do a quick check before we dive in.

@gsilvapt i suggest moving this update into the main description of the issue and then deleting your comment.

Closing issue as it has been fixed, only small improvements may be needed in terms of English.

FIXED.
