Re: WA scoring tables in machine-readable format?

Hi Martin

Andras has actually given us the tables in a readable format; we have a
compiled file in OpenTrack and a function to calculate them, and will be
rolling out display, and permission to use them.  However, the thing which
is never really settled is whether this information could be publicly
released as open data or open source code; World Athletics scoring PDFs
still say "all rights reserved".  I hope we can soon have a meeting with
World Athletics involvement, and perhaps discuss this.  If they gave
approval we could move the code to athlib almost instantly.
