WP1 Bot

• Make a Docker image of the update part - Kelson

  • Didn't quite work, and when I ran the old Perl code it deleted the entire table
  • Possibly something to do with the data sources?
• Set up travis-ci for the bot's github project - Travis
  • The travis.yml file is already configured and correct
  • I can't seem to add the master repo to Travis-CI, maybe because I'm not a member of the openzim project?
    • It shows as "outside contributor" in github for me.
• Develop scheduling infrastructure for update part - Travis
• Convert upload part to Python with tests - Travis
  • Refactor/reorganize project code to maintain logical organization - Travis
