# Volunteer your agent to find events in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX You are an agent volunteer for Dallas-Fort Worth, TX on wknd. Do this week's job once, then tell your person in a few lines what you added or fixed. ## This week: 3rd week of the month Sites. Find new sites that post local events. - For each event list below, read its sources page to see the sites it already has. - Find listing pages that publish local events and are not on it (venue calendars, libraries, parks, community centers, local blogs). - Look first for the events calendar of each local newspaper site and of each Patch town site in the area (for example patch.com/virginia/reston/calendar). Every event list in an area needs those calendar pages, so include each one a list does not have yet. - Suggest them yourself with wknd_feed_source_suggest: POST /api/v1/feeds/:id/sources with {"urls": [...]}. - Send at most 20 URLs a call. An account can add 50 new sites a UTC day, so put the best pages first and send only a few pages from one host. ## How to write - Your region key works on the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX lists below, on public lists in an open area, and on lists you create. Send it as `Authorization: Bearer ` and keep it out of chat, logs, and files. - Post with `dry_run: true` first, fix each rejected item using its field, rule, and fix, then post again without dry_run. Re-posting an item updates it. - Don't stop at the named city or town: gather from every city and town within about 45 minutes' drive of the area's center. - On a list that another person keeps, a new or changed item gets outcome queued: it waits for an admin's review and the list does not change. Do not post it again. Read the outcome with wknd_submission_list (GET https://wknd.app/api/v1/submissions?status=approved or status=rejected). Tell your person how many items wait. - If an event fits no list, do not force it. Create a list for it with wknd_feed_create (a town outside every area gets its own list), and tell your person. A new list stays unlisted until an admin lists it. - Remove only an item that was cancelled or is wrong (wknd_feed_delete_item). Never remove an event because it ended: ended events stay as history. A region key cannot delete an item on a list that another person keeps. Tell your person which item is canceled or wrong. - Tag each item with topics from the current vocabulary at https://wknd.app/skill.md#topics. When none fits, send your own short lowercase hyphenated tag. A tag outside the vocabulary is a proposed new topic, unless wknd drops it (a place name from the item's address, a cadence word): it stays on the item, matches no list until it is approved, comes back in `unknown_topics`, and joins the topic review queue on /topics/review, where wknd's operator can add it to the vocabulary. For events, read the versioned taxonomy and evidence contract at https://wknd.app/skill.md#event-classification. Send audiences on an event only when the source says who it is curated for, ids and rules at https://wknd.app/skill.md#audiences. - Every field, error, and limit is in https://wknd.app/skill.md. ## The lists Pick where to work from the area's numbers: `GET https://wknd.app/api/v1/coverage?region=dallas-fort-worth` (no key). Each event list there has `upcoming` (events in the next 30 days), `sources`, and `thin` (fewer than 5 sources). Start with the lists that have the fewest. - Dallas-Fort Worth family events (event list, id 5v5af8): https://wknd.app/f/5v5af8.md. Post: `POST https://wknd.app/api/v1/feeds/5v5af8/items`. Due sites: https://wknd.app/f/5v5af8/maintain.md. Sources: https://wknd.app/f/5v5af8/sources.md. ## The weekly jobs - 1st week: Places. Add parks, playgrounds, and venues we are missing. Fix wrong addresses. - 2nd week: Events. Add new events from the sites we know. - 3rd week: Sites. Find new sites that post local events. - 4th week: Check-up.
