I want a drupal.org development site for achievements
>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1502810. --> Reported by: [morbus iff](https://www.drupal.org/user/9034) >>> <p>G'day.</p> <p>I assume the infra team knows me. If not, please comment and I'll list the boring crap.</p> <p>I'd like, ideally, just access to the sanitized Drupal.org daily database. At this point in time, I do not intend to write code "for" drupal.org, as any code I'm currently writing is D7 specific, and d.o has a ways to go there. My request for the drupal.org daily database (which, according to these <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1018070">deprecated instructions</a>, requires BZR - is that still correct?) is for a data-mining project that can best be summed up with as "Drupal.org achievements".</p> <p>There are various reputation-based and points and badges initiatives being proposed (<a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/209448">here</a> and <a href="http://drupal-association.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Add-a-reputation-badges-system-to-Drupal.org/100209-18300">here</a>). My work would involve data-mining Drupal.org and creating sample achievements based on this data, in eventual hopes and plans of having it integrated in a far-future version of d.o (i.e., after a D7 upgrade). Until said integration occurred, I would likely create a secondary site (maybe on druplicon.info, maybe somewhere else) that would take the results of this data-mining + achievements and display it. Because of this secondary site + D7 focus, a your-server-provided environment would not be ideal (annoying reimaging daily for the latest database, largely ignored D6 codebase, etc.). Note that the database dump I would require would presume, at the least, that the UID and usernames from d.o are retained - I, of course, assume that email addresses and passwords have been sanitized away, but I don't see any rationale or need for them, so that's perfectly fine.</p> <p>Note: a denial of this request is "OK", per se, if it's going to cause undue stress on any<br> of the processes. I can, of course, simply spider drupal.org through HTTP for the same data.</p>
