# MacFound
Repository of open source code specific MacArthur Foundation internal
projects.
Repository of open source code specific to MacArthur Foundation
internal projects.
The code here is unlikely to be of general use, because it is highly
specific to the needs and datasets of the [MacArthur
......@@ -9,7 +9,25 @@ Foundation](https://www.MacFound.org). We release it as open source
anyway, because that's our usual practice and because some of it could
serve as an example or a template for other similar efforts.
Right now the things most likely to be useful in here are the
[refresh](refresh) script and how it drives [fix-csv](fix-csv) and
[csv2wiki](https://github.com/OpenTechStrategies/ots-tools/blob/master/csv2wiki)
to convert a CSV file to pages in a MediaWiki instance.
* CSV->Wiki
Right now the things most likely to be useful in here is the
CSV->wiki conversion system.
Start from the [wiki-refresh](wiki-refresh) script and see how it
drives first [fix-csv](fix-csv), which performs some one-time
transformations to a specific CSV file from the MacArthur
Foundation, and then runs the transformed CSV through the
general-purpose script
[csv2wiki](https://github.com/OpenTechStrategies/ots-tools/blob/master/csv2wiki)
to create pages in a [MediaWiki](https://www.mediawiki.org/)
instance.
This system has been tested with MediaWiki 1.28. There are a few
notes in
[csv2wiki](https://github.com/OpenTechStrategies/ots-tools/blob/master/csv2wiki)'s
documentation about things to watch out for with MediaWiki, e.g.,
you might have to run MediaWiki's `rebuildall.php` script to get the
categories feature working, some MediaWiki instances may have
spam-prevention features enabled that prevent csv2wiki from creating
pages containing URLs, etc.
