Automatically back up issues

[fsteeg]

Set up automatic backups, available at:
http://lobid.org/events/metafacture/backup

It's basically a copy of the response to this GitHub API call:
https://api.github.com/repos/culturegraph/metafacture-documentation/issues?state=all

A backup is created on any GitHub issues event, using a webhook posting to:
http://lobid.org/events/metafacture

That service is implemented in:
https://github.com/hbz/events (see hbz/events#4 for some implementation details).

Thanks Fabian for the setup of this backup. I haven't had the time to look into the details - it's interesting to use the Git API with events. I have heard of it but haven't used it so far.

Related to the documentation itself:
Hopefully I can start to put some first documentation as a starter into the repo of our project work done so far this week. Last week it wasn't possible.

I would like to add additional Github accounts of other "Metafactures" as team-members for this repo. But as far as I can see you have already write permissions for the whole Culturegraph namespace?

Best wishes to Cologne
Günter

@guenterh I have admin access to this repo for setting up and testing the webhook (for the backups). I don't have write permissions or admin access to the other Culturegraph repos. Perhaps @cboehme can give you admin access for this repo to add other members or add them for you.

@fsteeg Christoph already granted admin access to me for the doc repository. I'm going to add additional users soon, Günter
@cboehme fyi

The current backup contains the issues only, without comments. We need to include data like:

https://api.github.com/repos/culturegraph/metafacture-documentation/issues/1/comments

[fsteeg]

The comments are now backed up in a comments_data field for each issue.
