datasets / commodity-prices Goto Github PK

@rgrp Could you please give directions, how graphs should be done?

It would be great if we could set up a github action to auto-update this dataset.

Acceptance criteria

• Any issues with the script or data itself are fixed (eg, I don't know if data source has changed, if script is still working etc. so we need to check it).
• A github action that runs the script to fetch new data + updates the dataset in this repository. The github action runs on, eg, monthly basis.

@rgrp could you please give suggestions.

A. Description at top of README should be more extensive. You want an entire paragraph here and a good opening sentence. Key things to cover:

• What this is: Time series data of major commodity prices (maybe give some examples)
• Where it comes from: IMF

See other data packages for examples.

B. Markdown in source section is wrong. BTW in general i would not have this in the README but leave the home page in the datapackage sources and the specific excel link in the code.

C. Do not have Description subheading of data (there is no need)

D. I would make "indexes" and "Commodity Prices" (note your typo) into actual mini-headings or plain bold to avoid double indention of list.
