Whats the plan for these ETL scripts?

[ondrae]

Hey @invisiblefunnel

We've started a few transform scripts for Citygram SF. What was the plan for these? Do we eventually merge these scripts into https://github.com/codeforamerica/citygram or do we point you to our endpoints somewhere?

You may have explained this before, yet it would be nice to have it explained in the README so people not at hacknight know whats up.

@ondrae these integrations (repo and deployment) should live with the Brigade imo. I'm hesitant to encourage folks to merge endpoints into a central place, because a big benefit of Citygram's architecture is that the adapters can be written in any language.

(following up on this)
@invisiblefunnel - I get that this collection of adapters should live in the brigade (as well as the deployment) I'm curious as to what the process is to get San Francisco in the list of cities that appear in the big dropdown on citygram.org?

I was thinking about adding some more SF datasets for CodeAcross this weekend and thought it would be nice to see if we could turn on Citygram SF.

... and he shall appear!

I am the operator of citygram.org and went through this process when I brought Charlotte live.

Can you select icons from this collection? https://github.com/codeforamerica/citygram/tree/master/app/assets/img/publishers/icons

Operationally, I need a collection of stanzas like this:

Publisher.create! do |pub|
  pub.title = "Certificates of Occupancy"
  pub.endpoint = "https://citygram-services.herokuapp.com/clt-certificate-of-occupancy"
  pub.active = false
  pub.visible = true
  pub.city = "Charlotte"
  pub.icon = "certificate-of-occupancy.png"
  pub.state = "NC"
  pub.description = "List of certificates of occupancy issued by Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement."
  pub.tags = [“charlotte"]
end

Also, I'd love to be able to add the ability to request a dataset be made live to codeforamerica/citygram, but that's probably not in scope for tomorrow's Code Across. We could collaborate on getting SF turned on, though.

@bigfleet - super helpful information, thanks :)

What's the best way to submit those stanzas? Open an issue for each one on the Citygram repo? And if so, would that be the CfA/citygram repo, the citygram/citygram-services repo, or somewhere else?

Thanks so much!
