[okfn-help] Weekly report, plans for the week

Mon May 23 09:08:21 UTC 2011

*Things done this week*

*From original plan*
Open Government FAQ
~3,000 words written/edited. Not yet live.

Catalogues from odg.org's Google Spreadsheets should be in CKAN.

opendatamanual to Sphinx
Text  renders fine. Would like to learn more about reST directives and
create a "case study" directive, that works in a similar way to the glossary
directory. I imagine that these would be rendered as sidebars for LaTeX
output, but would be hyperlinked in HTML.

List of annexes is looking great. 7 substantive problems.

Meeting: New Zealand Open Government Data and Information Charter.

Meeting: Archives New Zealand, discussing search interface to their system.
Completing a rebuild. Will be launching January 2013. Promoted Semantic Web
technologies and Linked Data.

*Emergent things*
Discussion with Julian Long, owner of an Auckland law firm. Discussing the
possibility of extracting metacase from cases to monitor the length it takes
for decisions to be reported.

Support for Cook County, Il.

*Other*
Opened registrations for Kiwi PyCon 2011.

Released about 200,000 rows of data which I had extracted with ScraperWiki
from NZ govt sources

*Plan for this week*
Migrating government data FAQ to site.

Writing: Open Data Manual, core & annexes.

Coding - would like to spend ~10h cutting code. CKAN bugs? tbd.
