WISH: Preserve events and fundings sections when draft.md is reset

HenrikBengtsson opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

Hi, I noticed that 2022-W39 lost:

R Consortium ISC Call for Proposals - Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) grants for low-to-medium risk projects with a focused scope and likely to have a broad impact on the R Community. Deadline 2022-10-01.

under Section 'Grants & Funding'. I didn't get removed for the first few weeks, but only for this last week. It's unfortunate and extra unfortunate as the deadline is this week. I noticed that the same mistake happened once back in April too.

Section 'Upcoming Events in 3 Months' also lost several events that are still upcoming.

Maybe one could write a reset script that run via GitHub Actions that parses all current sections while preserving some of the sections as-is?

That's my bad - I can add that entry back into the issue shortly.

The workflow for resetting the draft involves our draft template and doesn't preserve much at all. Perhaps a source of 'upcoming events' with expiry dates could be pulled in each issue?

The entry has been restored in the issue, but I'll leave this open for discussions about how to prevent this happening again.

Thanks for the quick fix. Note that there are also some upcoming events that need to be restored.

Thanks for that - I've restored them.
