==== Using ORES ====

I found it challenging to install ORES without root access because of the reliance on C libraries and system dictionaries, but it was trivial to do on a machine where I had root, so I installed it on Nada with pip.

On Nada, I use some scripts I wrote, which use the locally-installed ORES engine to make queries against the ORES environment run by the analytics team (i.e. you are not just hitting nada when you run code on nada -- it's making calls to the foundation's servers). A more detailed code walkthrough of my damaging-edits script is below, but the basic situation is:
        * I have a list of revision IDs in a tab-delimited format, I want a prediction of whether each revision is damaging.
        * ORES is expecting a command line invocation, but I have a dataset
        * ORES manages its own connection niceties, but I have to let it do so
