Meeting title can default to "Board of Trustees" unless a specific committee is listed. We also want to scrape the docs here on the Doc URL. It should default to the main location, but check for asterisks which indicate alternate locations. Since it looks like the meeting time isn't anywhere on the page, it's fine to default to midnight and add a note about "See agenda for meeting time" in the time_notes field
See the contribution guide for information on how to get started
Hi, I keep getting an Index out of range error whenever I write a title_test. I tried printing the contents of 'parsed_items[]' but it's coming out to be empty. Am I doing something wrong with the file_response() method, because the city-scrapers-core documentation says it's to specify encoding for Windows while I'm working on a Mac? Thanks!
@SaanikaKulkarni could you open a PR with what you have so far? It's hard to say without seeing your code, and that way we could troubleshoot
Hi @pjsier,
What classification would you like to give meetings such as the 2018 board meeting: Thursday, November 15 - All Committee Meetings followed by Board Meeting?
Is the title Board of Trustees unless a specific committee is listed still preferred?
@alderocas Yeah I think "Board of Trustees" still works and the BOARD classification if there's a board meeting at all, thanks for clarifying!
@pjsier Alright, I'll do that. Thank you for clarifying! :D
Have a great weekend!
