This release snapshots OpenANC as it was on Election Day, November 8, 2022.

Changes since the last release 2 years ago:

  1. Support for multiple versions of the ANC map due to redistricting, including a new URL structure
  2. Functions for generating different types of relative links within the site
  3. A testing process that checks each internal link and confirms that the link works, as well as a check for orphaned HTML pages within the site
  4. Links from old districts to new districts and vis-versa, showing overlaps between different versions of each district
  5. Improved address search behavior. Now, when a user searches for an address on a map, the pin and the display box updates with the district info at the address. Closes #3
  6. Person pages: surfacing the information on the person data object on a new standalone page for each person, linking to the districts they ran in or represented, as well as a new "person list" showing every person in the OpenANC database
  7. Refactored ingestion of the BOE candidate list, making a suggested match to the existing people in the database, then create lists that can be easily copied into the source Google Sheet
  8. New process for ingesting write-in candidate lists from DCBOE and processing them alongside the candidates who appeared on the ballot
  9. Improve site performance by no longer putting the SMD shapefile into each district page, only using a 4-point bounding box to zoom the SMD map, making each HTML file much smaller
  10. Code streamlining such that each full site refresh takes about 3 minutes on a laptop
  11. A _name column for each data object (SMD, ANC, Ward) that is separate from its _id
  12. The label points file that is sent to Mapbox is now a GeoJSON instead of a CSV, ending intermittent map display problems due to CSV parsing
  13. Script written for downloading the current list of commissioners from the Office of ANCs, in anticipation of future work revamping the commissioner object
  14. New page that lists the incumbent commissioners broken out by who is running and who has dropped out
  15. Gather functions relating to data into one script: data_transformations.py
  16. Utilize Google Cloud Compute Engine to check DCBOE for changes to the PDF that lists candidates, sending alerts to a new Twitter bot, OpenANCbot https://twitter.com/OpenANCbot
