Super simple shell script to take boilerplate FOIA language and create a markdown file.

Snippets: Creating a FOIA

This is a super simple shell script that takes boilerplate FOIA language and creates a markdown file that can be addressed to a particular agency.

Source Blog post on using Google Apps Scripts to automate some tasks needed for a crowdsourced map...

Back in November, on my second day at KPCC, I collaborated with Kim Bui on a crowd-sourced map that attempted to gather information from voters who wanted to share their experience at the polls.

We successfully powered the map using a bunch of Google tools -- a form, a spreadsheet and a Fusion Table -- along with some duct tape and some manual labor.

Some six months later I've become more comfortable here, and more comfortable with Google Apps Scripts thanks to some great examples from others. So as I re-purposed the idea for an election back in M
