Open data library to archive docs and datasets from requests
Documents released via the site suffer a few limitations:
- they are often posted on a file sharing site with an expiry date. This means the content is not publicly indexed, and the content is typically lost after a few days
- or they are attached to email replies, and alaveteli could make it easier to view and search the content of those.
This ticket aims to build a file storage tool connected to alaveteli that will automatically collect documents released via the site, archive and index them so that they can be searched. The search aspect is tracked in a separate ticket (#178). This one focuses on setting up the storage solution.
Most likely this won't be a full new system, but rather an existing tool which will need linking with alaveteli to minimise the number of human actions required to store files.
Also see the discussion on the forum (in French).
