Data for Quebec

[AGarrow]

I have a scraper for Quebec's public bodies (my boss authored it, and wants to contribute). It's written in ruby, and can be seen here. How do we go about integrating this?https://gist.github.com/jpmckinney/5022490

Can you get a CSV output? Headings should be as per https://github.com/okfn/publicbodies/blob/master/data/eu.csv

If the headings don't fit well with your data please holler as we are iterating on the exact common column set atm.

my current headers are:
organization, name, role, address, voice, fax, tollfree, email, type

I'm working on adapting them to your standards now

FYI, I'll be taking over this issue. We have public bodies for Canada and all its provinces now.

@jpmckinney #29 is now done and we have a new standard schema. Would be great to get this in!

Since my last update, I've noticed that Canadian governments often publish two organizational lists: one for FOI and another for the real government hierarchy. Which is of more interest to this project? Would an FOI list suffice if the full hierarchy is not published?

[rufuspollock]

Real hierarchy would probably be preferable I guess but we could always start with FoI ...

[jpmckinney]

Sounds good. I'm going to close this issue for now and open pull requests once the data's ready.

[jpmckinney]

Actually, I can't close it, but that's my intention :)

[rufuspollock]

@jpmckinney you're now on the team for this repo and should be able to close issues :-) Please go ahead and close :-)

Thanks!
