For a current TODO list see Bugzilla.

• 5 data sources
  • energy - done(ish)
    • resultant database has many specific date columns
  • water - done(ish)
    • only gets 1990 data. need more dates.
  • occupancy - alex - done(ish)
    • could be generalized to get more census data
    • only gets state data not county, region, etc.
  • superfund sites - almost done (Aybars & Kevin)
    • we ran into trouble with non-uniform data that made parsing a headache. will try to resolve or find another source.
• scrAPI:
  • API to data store
    • need to add normalization procedures to SourceDefinition classes
    • may serve up normalized XML data via tomcat (this way we can take leverage all the source definition/management that we've already done in Java). PHP or Perl are also possibilities (simpler but less robust).
  • HTTP POST support.
  • testing suite - colin & alex
    • done (Source,Schema) needs more coverage
    • move test source(s) to cvs & setup bar web directory
    • need documentation for testing suite. - alex - done
  • proper javadoc - Aybars - done a bunch needs more coverage
  • exception handling
    • (asserts, etc.)
  • Source Management - toby - done
    • Scheduler - toby - done
    • sourceManager - toby - done
    • sourceDefinition - toby - done
  • source stream - toby - done
  • single place for var name to sql type - done
  • figure out group skipping - done
    • to skip a group, put a '?' as the first character in that group, e.g., (?.+)
    • see this awesome regexp tutorial (specific to Python but talks about Perl as a baseline too)
• database
  • input - done
• geocoding
  • waiting on database from group fu
