pldb Update of Wikipedia entries for Creators

Hi Breck (@breck7),

I would like to update the Wikipedia entries for the language creators. However, in order to do so, I would need to know if the "creators.tree" file is auto-generated?

Also, it looks to have 59 Wikipedia records, but the corresponding HTML file has only 56 corresponding links, so there is a discrepancy somewhere in how the HTML is generated. If there is a problem, I will resolve this as part of the update.

I would like to get working on this, so any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks! Liam

Aloha @celtic-coder ! Great idea. It is not auto generated.

I had an idea once that maybe each of these entries should be a full file (https://github.com/breck7/pldb/tree/main/site/users), but I think that would be premature optimization, and we could probably get very far just by updating the creators.tree file.

Thanks to Hassam (@hassamalhajaji) for PR #271 (commit https://github.com/breck7/pldb/commit/3a159f5b9f9ec30c98c993cbc6f9925ac4072eac) on October 29th, to cover most of the Top 100 of the Language Creators.

Just linking this to: https://github.com/breck7/pldb/issues/68

I think the way to go is to make "creators" a Scroll dataset. https://scroll.pub/blog/datasets.html

I might play with that later to see if it works well.

Okay, now that we have ScrollSets (https://scroll.pub/blog/scrollsets.html), the creators stuff is much better.

I just added some more info to seed, but should be quick to get a lot of info in there now.
