Description of the metadata in Grist

[Ly0n]

For the grist spreadsheet a description of the various metadata could help user a lot to understand the source / calculation of various values we are showing. Such a description could be added manually via the Grist front-end, or ideally should be added to the Python script that creates the columns in the first place, so that this data is stored in a repository and can be easily recreated.

Hi, is this open? How can I make a contribution to the documentation here?

[Ly0n]

Hey @DeeptiN1, thank you for taking on this issue. A good way to get started would be to create a markdown table defining all the metadata that you can see in the spreadsheet.

Here some documents that are relevant for the work.
Spreadsheet: https://docs.getgrist.com/doc/gSscJkc5Rb1Rw45gh1o1Yc
Here the script that pulls data from the ecosystem.ms service. Some data from ecosyste.ms is just forwarded but other parts are just data is been created inside this script: https://github.com/protontypes/open-sustainable-technology/blob/main/.github/workflows/ecosystems_to_grist.py

The backend source can be find here: https://github.com/ecosyste-ms/ost
The api documentation can be found here. So far not all available data is documented by Ecosyste.ms.: https://ost.ecosyste.ms/docs/index.html

To get started, it would be very helpful if you could simply write what you think this data describes for each column of the projects and organisations. This would help us to understand where the naming of the values might already be totally off. If you make a first serve I can support you further.

Hi @Ly0n Thank you very much for sharing all the details. I am eager to start on this. However, I have an update regarding the timeline. I have to travel and will be away from December 22 to January 03, with limited internet access. I am sorry for the inconvenience but I will definitely be able to work on this after I'm back.

I have created PR #1025 for review to start with.
