This process will allow third parties to update in an automated way the identities found in Korma.
So far there's documentation in the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_metrics#Contributors | Community Wiki ]] regarding to the process to manually update affiliation data. This was done in {T88277}.
With the use of [[ https://github.com/MetricsGrimoire/sortinghat | Sorting Hat ]] this process is simpler than manually editing that file, but this forces you to use Sorting Hat.
The automation is as follows:
* Sorting Hat 'git pull' the last version of the JSON file (bitbuket stored)
* Sorting Hat overwrite information in the database with changes in the JSON file (so Sorting Hat assumes this is always the right information).
** If there were an issue, we can simply checkout a previous version.
* Sorting Hat add new identities information coming from data sources (for instance a new developer committed a change to the source code)
* Sorting Hat exports that identities/affiliations information and 'git push' that new JSON file to the bitbucket repository.
* Sorting Hat updates the private JSON file (so far in bitbucket) each day this is run.
