Adding / Editing Material

Use resources to add links to actual data files (including PDFs if they contain the data). Don't use them just to link to web pages about the data -- put those in the notes.

Conventions

• Titles start with Bulgarian ... e.g. Bulgarian Parliament Information
• Prefix package 'names' (slugs) with bg- so e.g. bg-parliament
• Tag with country.bg and country.bulgaria
