18f / old_docs Goto Github PK

What

First attempt to put a warning on old out of date Google Docs was to use Google Scripts at https://github.com/18F/old_docs/blob/master/Code.js.

How

The intention was to write a script that would go through all of 18F's Google Docs, find the ones that hadn't been edited in a year, and put a little warning in the header that would let the reader know as much.

We found a few limitations though:

• Google scripts can only can find files in the script runners Google Drive.
• Adding the ugly orange header update the files lastModified attribute, so it no longer appears to be old or out of date (expect for the big orange header explaining as much.
