Overview

We want to update the languages for Access the Data so that visitors to the website can find accurate and up-to-date information.

Action Items

• In the _projects/access-the-data.md ¹, after the identification field, add the new field additional-repo-ids as follows:

  additional-repo-ids:
    - 508455581
  

• Check the languages from both the accessthedata-ckan repo ² and access-the-data repo ³ show up on Access the Data's
  • Card on the "Our Projects" page ⁴
  • Detailed info page ⁵

Resources/Instructions

• This issue was initiated by Update Project Profile: Access the Data #4818 (comment)

@mxajPrice Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Here is our proposal

Constraints

• Any changes we make need to work for all projects with multiple repositories
• We want to protect the contributions of previous contributors
• We want the all-time contributors that appear on any project page, to have all contributors across all repos.
• languages are pulled directly from the repos and cannot be edited or added to.

Proposal

• Move unrelated content out of the main repository
  • move the commit for the Jupyter Notebook, to the Data Science Community of practice repo.
  • move any related issues to the data science community of practice repo
• Refactor the HfLA website code to read from as many repositories as specified per project so that the following data is properly representative of the projects
  • languages
  • contributors
• Add the new repository(s) to the project files
  • Access the data
  • Civic Tech Index
  • etc.

Special notes

It's possible to move a commit without losing the authors' attribution. So this plan seems feasible. On the receiving side (Data Science repo), once they received the code, then they would need to add a folder to it, in order for it to fit in with their current organization of files.

We could help broker this move, but if AtD is in time crunch, they can reach out to Data Science, and manage the moving of the commit without the website team.

Please let us know your thoughts.

Best,

Bonnie

@ExperimentsInHonesty for your last point there, "add the new repositories tot he project files..." do you mean our contributors and languages used would show up on both the AtD site and the CTI site? Also, is CTI the same as CTJ?

I am ok with the website team taking care of these things at their own pace. My plan is to have an MVP up and running in the test environment by the end of the year. We will need a new PM to start putting a plan together to take AtD to version 1 and having all information updated would really help in that effort but I feel is enough time for the website team to address this.

Thanks.

@mxajPrice Thanks for your response.

Sorry for the confusion, my inclusion of the CTI as an example caused. CTI is Civic Tech Index, and it has the same issue as your project (multiple repos). So I included it for the website team to understand how multiple repos might be needed for more than one project.

@JessicaLucindaCheng Next steps for the dev team
We need to

• 1. move the commit for the Jupyter Notebook on access-the-data's repo, to the Data Science Community of practice repo. If you need write access to the data science repo, please let me know by adding this to our agenda.
• 2. identify any issues related to the commit, so that I can transfer them to the data science repo.

[JessicaLucindaCheng]

• I wrote Move the commit for Jupyter Notebook from Access the Data repo to Data Science CoP repo #6139 to address the following items:

  • Moving the commit for the Jupyter Notebook on access-the-data's repo to the Data Science Community of Practice repo.
  • Identify any issues related to the commit that need to be transferred to the Data Science repo.

  The reason is I don't want to overwhelm the comment history in this issue here with progress updates for something else.

[JessicaLucindaCheng]

• The action items in Add additional repo(s) for project: Access the Data #5127 (comment) have been moved to Rollout Plan: Change code to read data from multiple project repositories #6138

Once the issues in the Dependency section are completed, this issue is ready for prioritization.
