In associatedpress/apdatacheck: AP Data Check Scripts

Questions

This file contains outstanding questions that come up about implementing data check:

1. How will we wrap functions in one giant wrapper to be consumed?

2. What "groups" will we want to wrap functions in?

3. How will user be able to run a given group?

4. What easy pass/fail check can we give for each function?

5. Settle on what verbose/non verbose means when it comes to warning messages

6. Do we want to use a testing framework?

7. What "rules" for writing a module should apply to contributors?

8. Are there common signatures we should apply to all modules created?

9. How can people contribute? Pull request? Is there a modular way to contribute?

10. How should we deal with column detection?

11. Are we okay with proliferating data files?

12. Should we look into creating mocks for some of these data files?

13. Should we create a module that, separately from checking operations, does a preprocessing step on the data files (most likely guided by the person running it)?
