Add new regions

[Andreas Boltres]

We are currently working on an updated description/mechanism for adding new regions to the app.

For now you can:

1. point us to websites/organizations with fruit and vegetable availability data for the region
2. ask for permission to reuse said data
3. integrate the data into the database and give proper credit / or "Non-Database-fiddling Alternative"

Outdated description

From v1.5.0, adding a new region XX corresponds to adding new availability info for each food:

1. Creating a new table foods_av_XX in the SQLite database file assets/db/foods.db, with XX being a two-letter code for the region. The easiest way to do this is by copying the table foods_av_ce with the SQL statement below:

CREATE TABLE foods_av_xx AS SELECT * FROM foods_av_ce

2. Replace the availability data (including the column isCommon): each column holds a number per month, separated by commas. 0.0 indicates no availability, e.g. 0.5 indicates partial availability and 1.0 abundant availability in that month.
3. Specify in the column isCommon whether the food is common or a rarity in your region.

Non-Database-fiddling Alternative

Send me a spreadsheet with the data of your region, containing the availability numbers for each food (1 number per month) and whether the food is common or a rarity in your region.

I have contacted both cuesa.org and eufic.org #104 and asked for permission to reuse their data.

We did not get permission from cuesa :(
