[openspending-dev] Loading API

Hi Karen,

Apologies for slightly slow reply. Also, as you probably know OpenSpending
is a community run project so response here is largely from volunteers
(which includes me here!)

First, sorry to hear you are having an issue. To help you resolve it can I
ask 2 requests:

1. Could you open an issue on
https://github.com/openspending/openspending/issues - it will be easier to
track and work on there
2. When you open the issue could you walk through exactly the steps you
take and what happens. This will help us replicate and debug.

There are the links I use:

Interesting. Please document in the issue and we'll dive in.

Another bug you have spotted - could you open a separate issue for this -
much appreciated.
