Find way to incorporate out-of-band reports #204

Closed spulec closed 8 years ago

spulec commented 9 years ago

We have created https://github.com/unitedstates/reports as a repository for reports which have been collected outside of this system. We should find a way to incorporate the inspectors-general folder there with this project.

Some ideas mentioned here: https://github.com/unitedstates/inspectors-general/issues/185

Thank you for getting this started! I think the way to do this is probably a one-off script, maybe inspectors/manual.py -- or a scripts/manual.py that's called by ./igs -- to download the repo and walk through them, obeying the --since and --year flags like everything else. It should integrate cleanly into the system so that they also get backed up in the Internet Archive along with everything else.

I've been digging into some old 404 errors recently. There are several reports that aren't up where they're supposed to be, but are available elsewhere. (i.e. wayback machine) Should we upload reports that have gone down to this repo and deal with them together?

How about to https://github.com/unitedstates/reports? And yeah -- we need to get the internet archive uploader back in sync. It hasn't kept up to date since the last bulk upload.

Shall we close this after konklone/oversight.garden#76?

konklone commented 8 years ago

I edited your PR to use the Fixes notation, I believe it will auto-close this once merged, if the same person has commit privileges on both repos...
