Add a tutorial

These guidelines need more interactive, full-immersion fun. Let's create a didactic tutorial for a rounder learning experience.

Regina and Jack will walk through these guidelines and provide feedback.

We add the `source_url` by looking for the link to the web interface (rather than the api - might be worth asking why?): https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/blob/master/councilmatic_core/management/commands/import_data.py#L954 However, the `source_note` (determined by looking...

Show the Person detail view - even with data errors

1

Recently, we had a data issue that raised a Bill DoesNotExist error when arriving at [this query](https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/blob/master/councilmatic_core/views.py#L364). (N.B. The data problem was that a sponsorship pointed to a bill ocd_id,...

I set up AWS Cloudwatch to capture the `syslog`. I documented those steps [here](https://github.com/datamade/devops/pull/45). Specifically, we need to know when Python invokes an `oom-killer`, which gets logged in `syslog`. To...

Recently someone visited `/search/rss`, which throws an "Internal Server Error": https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/blob/master/councilmatic_core/feeds.py#L28 Let's handle such cases (and others?) as 404 errors.

The Event detail page contains a link to the Events page. [Previously, it said "back to." ](https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/commit/7b29900cd9ceb81b66fc4cd21523bb001cb9721b) Ideally, this should redirect to the place of origin, i.e., if you click...

Remove list evaluation until necessary

Recently, we [cleaned up some unnecessary evaluations](https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/pull/159). Let's comb through the code source and refactor other such instances.

Modify how we use urlencode as a filter to account for double encoding with PIC

**Two things** Look at the filter here: https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/blob/master/councilmatic_core/templates/councilmatic_core/legislation.html#L372 Add an explanatory note here: https://github.com/datamade/django-councilmatic/blob/master/councilmatic_core/models.py#L336 -OR- We might think about how to standard `full_text_doc_url` for all Councilmatics, rather than expecting the...

Currently, when a user clicks on the "legislation" or "committee" tabs, it sends a request and reloads the page. Let's try to get the same results, but with JavaScript. In...
