Request from USGS to be added to the agency list. They will produce a code.json in 2 weeks and would like for code.gov to harvest their data.

URL: https://www.usgs.gov/code.json

Update record on:
https://github.com/GSA/code-gov-harvester/blob/master/data/agencyMetadata.json

It would be awesome if this repo could include a code-gov topic to make it easily discoverable along other code.gov related utilities on GitHub.com.

Topics are now an even more prominent part of the discovery experience of GitHub.com (https://github.com/topics), and are being used to help users discover projects they may be interested in (https://github.com/updates). Creating a centralized place for code.gov repositories may also help in reducing duplication of effort as well.

Also, that would then make them more easily searchable on https://code.gov... how meta.

The agencies code.json file releases are not 100% reflected on the code.gov platform. There are discrepancies governmentWideReuse and openSource projects on the code.gov website which agencies have reported on their code.json files.

example:

DOE, GSA, and NASA are showing discrepancies 7, 22, 240 respectively, as noted above with *.

It appears that the harvester algorithm to check for duplicate release titles is causing the issue due to special characters on field value.

Add additional integrations to get more data for a specific repo. For now, this will be integrating Github to the harvester. The info will be added per project repo.

Eg.

{
    "releases": {
        "ProjectRepo": {
            ...
            "githubInfo": {},
            "collaborators": []
        }
    }
}

Summary

The API generates a report.json which feeds the compliance dashboard. The harvester needs to create the report.json in the same way as the API.

Steps

Implement Report features
Generate report while validating the code.json
Add issues to report
Add a agencyMetadata.json file to the project.

In addition to the CFO Act agencies (24), the Browse Projects should list all Federal agencies. For example, it should include projects from CFPB which has published a code.json file.

Some agencies have requested us to update the names that show on the compliance dashboard:

• Update NARA's name to National Archives and Records Administration
• Update Treasury to Department of the Treasury
