Data Sources form

Some known risks

  • Spam: someone uses the form or API to submit way too much stuff in an attempt to overload us
  • Sabotage: someone uses the form or API to submit data that is rude or harmful to our mission

Some options

  • Require auth with email address (manually or with an app)
  • Require auth with something fancier like Keybase
  • Manually approve all entries before they're made public

  • Collect email addresses on the form, optionally
  • Set up a moderation queue to approve submissions before they are made public
  • Not embed the form into a live site, only sharing the link with individuals who ask by contacting staff in any way (explaining this process in the docs)

  1. 1.
    Create a new repository where the code will live, or a new directory in an existing repo
  2. 2.
    Ask the volunteer to submit their code to the new repo, without worrying about automation
  3. 3.
    Wire up the automation ourselves, once we ensure the code meets the standard
