Top o' the plops - weekly top hit statistics from the music department

Here lies the archive of weekly hits dating back to 1997. It is published on the public website, but with the 'archival' flavor of this 40Mb+ of content it didn't make sense to include it in the mainline website repo. Instead, it's linked in as a module.

How to update

1. git clone this repo
2. Follow TH's weekly hand curation method below
3. git add, git commit, git push as appropriate
4. Ping a website owner (Earl Grey or Fox Populi, as of July 2017) and ask them to push the changes. Or do nothing and wait until these changes are picked up in the next website push.

Thurston Hunger's weekly hand curation method

1. Run a report for a week, eg. http://spidey.kfjc.org/numa/tops/index.php?sd=20160727&ed=20160803
2. View the Source of that output and pluck out the info from the <!-- Begin Top Plays Table --> on down to the end of the file.
3. ssh voyeur.kfjc.org (Brian can provide a login or perhaps other ways of connecting)
4. cd /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/kfjc/md/pl/tops
5. edit the index.html to add a new bullet for a new week
6. in the 2016/ or appropriate subdir cp a previous weekly report and stuff in the info plucked form the numa run:
   • cp tops_06302016.html tops_06232016.html
   • vi tops_06232016.html (or edit other ways)
   • replace the old Begin Top Plays Table on down with the new

TODO

1. Automate
2. Consider converting all of this to .tsv or similar plaintext format, and changing the website to render that with a template. (Fox June 2017)
