[OpenSpending] Data Wranglers Community Reboot Discussion

[Rufus Pollock]

Hi All,

I wanted to flag this new topic in the forum:

https://discuss.okfn.org/t/openspending-data-wranglers-community-reboot/269

<quote>
Situation: data gets loaded into OpenSpending by people, by "data
wranglers".

Complication: there is currently no (community) structure for those data
wranglers - people wanting loading data into OpenSpending: no obvious place
to find others, to ask questions or get help, or to know what datasets are
being worked on or need someone to work on.

Question: what can we put community processes can we put in place to
support OpenSpending data wranglers?

Thoughts and suggestions on this either here or in the forum are welcome!

For my part, an initial idea would be:

- A dedicated section on the forum for people to ask questions and get help
- Creating a place to track datasets people are working on - we do already
have https://github.com/openspending/datatoload

Regards,

Rufus
