This is the master manuscript of the Spending Data Handbook, the OpenSpending community's guidebook to data-driven research on government spending data for journalists and civil society advocates.
These Markdown source files were originally exported from a Google document manuscript, which has now been replaced by this repo as the main branch of the Handbook.
To revise or expand the Handbook, create a fork of this repo and place a pull request with proposed changes.
Also included in this repo is a Python script to (re-)post the Handbook on the OpenSpending Community Site. The script's usage is detailed in a separate README in the /scripts directory.
