Simple project database to collect information about projects funded by French Embassies and publish it in IATI format (both v1.03 and v2.01).

Landing page shows list of projects that have been added so far. Most users can see only their own projects; administrators can see all projects.

Simple form to edit basic activity data. Data is automatically saved as you move through the form.

The geocoder retrieves locations automatically from Geonames.org and providers a list of locations that can be selected by clicking on them on the left hand side. They appear as markers on the map and are instantly saved to the database.

New financial data (commiments and disbursements) can easily be added. The data is saved as you move through the form.

1. Internationalisation has been added using Flask-Babel - you can specify the country in config.py and then add new translations as outlined in Flask-Babel's documentation. Translation strings are stored in maediprojects/translations
2. Editing projects is fast and fields are saved as the user moves through the form to avoid loss of data. Fields are constrained as much as possible to ensure the correct format of data - for example, bootstraper-datetimepicker is used to constrain dates and provide a nice UI.
3. Locations are retrieved from Geonames.org upon request, to populate a simple geocoder. The user can click on regions (ADM1) or choose to see locations within a particular region (ADM2).
4. Financial data can either be provided as a single total amount (as it is currently stored in the original source spreadsheets) or as individual financial transactions (as IATI encourages). If individual financial transactions are specified then these will be published in the IATI data; otherwise the total figures will be.
5. The data is generated in IATI v1.03 and v2.01 formats, with activities grouped by country. In time / if needed, this could potentially be cached, but it is fast at the moment.
6. Fields unlikely to change are filled out by default and hidden, with the option of showing them. Each user has a default country, which means the user doesn't have to specify this each time.

The current software has a few limitations which could be improved upon:

• it does not generate organisation files at all. You can use something like AidStream.org for this
• it does not generate results data for activities. Sage2IATI has some relevant code for this, but the user interface could be simplified and it was not currently necessary for this project database.
• project documents cannot be attached to activities.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:markbrough/maedi-projects.git

2. Set up a virtualenv:

   virtualenv ./pyenv
   

3. Activate the virtualenv:

   source ./pyenv/bin/activate
   

4. Install the requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

5. Copy and edit the config.py.tmpl:

   cp config.py.tmpl config.py
   

6. Run the server:

   python manage.py runserver
   

7. Setup:

   http://localhost:5000/setup/
   

8. You can log in using the admin username and password defined in your config.py

9. Before using the geocoding feature, you need to import locations from Geonames. When logged in as an administrator, you can click on the username in the top right, then "Manage codelists" / "Gérer les listes de codes". Click on the "Locations" / "Localisations" tab, then choose a country to import.
