Begun process of devising a naming system for the Changed files that does not require scraping. Tinkered with naming through regular expression parsing of the URL. Structure for the oral questions and written questions drivers is set up, but need fixes due installed as appropriate to the differences make linked in crawler compatible with the sitesRDP. Fixed bug on McNair wiki for women's biz team where email was plain text instead Removed some of an email link.

Finished uploading and the questions submitting Moroccan data must be retrieved using a web crawler which I need to learn how to implement. The naming of files is currently drawing errors in going from arabic, to url, to download, to filename. Debugging in process.
