[openspending-dev] [okfn-labs] Data validation reporting

[Paul Walsh]

Hi Ross,

Yes, I’ve looked at csvlint. Before getting to the solution to the problem (csvlint, something else) we first want to ensure we know the scope of the problem itself, define use cases, etc. 

But sure, csvlint does meet some of the current requirements we have in mind.
