build a jekyll-based catalog converter #384

Open gbinal opened 10 years ago

gbinal commented 10 years ago

With the news that Jekyll can now ingest CSVs for data, I really want to try to construct a catalog generator that uses gh-pages to do all the work.

Goal: set up a GitHub repo such that someone can just manage a CSV in the _data folder and have a schema-compliant data.json generated as a result.

I'm starting work here and would really love help.

:+1: Happy to work with you on this.

gbinal commented 10 years ago

Score. @parkr - as you've already seen (but to bring to attention of the cc'ed folks above, too), https://github.com/GSA/simple-catalog-generator/issues/2 is def. going to be the sticking point for me.

rebeccawilliams commented 10 years ago

This is a great idea. Pinging @jlord @tmcw @ondrae for their Simple Open Data interests (and input if they have it!)

Has there been headway on this @gbinal? cc-ing @dhcole

Also noting the csv to v1.1 in staging here, see: #441

gbinal commented 9 years ago

There hasn't. Here's the current effort. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to work on this anytime soon, but can help anyone who's game to take point.

jlord commented 9 years ago

Ohhhhh this is a really cool idea!

@ultrasaurus is working on something that generates a full API from a CSV, though it's more of a platform service than this approach: https://github.com/18F/open-data-maker
