OurWork Edit-chalk-10bo12.png

What is the project?

Convert spike to compost ... automate the retrieval of all the stats used on Portal:2008_Presidential_Election, increase the freshness of the data.

See also Quote-Back Technology

Why is it important?

  1. Very hot data
  2. Takes a lot of time to manually update stats
  3. Moves us towards implementing Quote-Back Technology
  4. Eventually people will begin to consume our data and the campaigns themselves may begin to keep track of what is happening on Portal:2008_Presidential_Election

DoneDone

  • Use compost to retrieve the data instead of the hacked heuristics
  • Code is well tested
  • Automagically refreshes the page every day
  • Calls a human when values fall out of the expected norms
  • BONUS: Create a machine readable datafeed of this data that others can consume.
