Core functions for councilmatic.org family
Project description
django-councilmatic
===========
The django-councilmatic app provides the core functionality for the `Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>`_, a set of web apps for keeping tabs on local city council. It is built upon the open civic data standard and ultimately makes Councilmatic easier to re-deploy in new cities.
django-councilmatic includes:
- data models for bills, people, organizations, events, and more
- a task to load data from the open civic data api
- views and templates for bill/person/organization/event pages, search, and more
The `Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>`_ includes:
- Philly Councilmatic (the original and first Councilmatic, by Mjumbe Poe, an important predecessor to DataMade's django-councilmatic)
- `Chicago Councilmatic <https://github.com/datamade/chi-councilmatic>`_
- `New York City Councilmatic <https://github.com/datamade/nyc-councilmatic>`_
- `Los Angeles Metro Board <https://github.com/datamade/la-metro-councilmatic>`_

Patches and Contributions
-------------
We continue to improve django-councilmatic, and we welcome your ideas! You can make suggestions in the form of `github issues <https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/issues>`_ (bug reports, feature requests, general questions), or you can submit a code contribution via a pull request.
How to contribute code:
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Bonus points for running tests to check python style (:code:`pip install flake8` and then :code:`flake8 .`).
- Send us a pull request with a description of your work! Don't worry if it isn't perfect - think of a PR as a start of a conversation, rather than a finished product.
