[Scale-planning] Guidebook automation

[Derek Nowicki]

The app is up in the stores for testing now if you want to install it. I'm on mobile so I don't have the links, but you should be able to find it with a search for "scale conference". The developer name is Knowiki Apps.




Instead of writing all of this code for guidebook, why not contribute to the mobile app? I think we could beat every feature guidebook has and then some.




I can send the repo url to anyone who wants to contribute.




Best,




Derek

Guidebook has been selling us their app for about 1/10th the normal cost.  I dont know that they'll do any feature development for us.


Additionally, Derek has been developing a different SCALE app from scratch that we may want to use in future years. I'm not sure if we'll be using Guidebook again in 2019.


Mostly depends on if the app Derek started is finished.

This year I wrote automation around Guidebook. It was enough to run a script


and suck in data without dealing with the CVS import stuff. However, there's


more to be done - ideally we'd get to a point where it can just be cron'd.




I've created a Project on the GH repo to track the necessary work:

Ilan - one of them would require an addition to the Guidebook API - do we have


a contact there we could request that through? Today you cannot publish guide


changes through the API.




Ron - one those would is around the website. Do you think the CVS-export links


could be non-auth'd? At leats for the 'accepted' one, there's no non-public


data there, it's ismply the Schedule in CVS format. That would make things


much simpler.
