Data update script, and documentation #9

Closed danrademacher closed 10 years ago

danrademacher commented 10 years ago

Develop a script to process CSVs and shapefiles into GeoJSON. Client would run the script via URL or some other method.

Is this still needed? CSV is running straight as is, right? I think what we need is documentation of how what a shapefile can contain (only the shape of the planning area, at what projection, whatever)

Linked to #51. The data update script is currently just a makefile, and that's all it will ever be. But it should be better documented so at least there is the potential that the client could run the makefile themselves and regenerate the GeoJSON. But even if they never run the script themselves, we should have clear instructions on what the shapefile should look like, so I'll keep #51 separate.
