1247071 - Update "Load Data" docs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: BrowserCompat, defect)

Description

[John Whitlock [:jwhitlock]]

What did you do?
================
1. Go to http://browsercompat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html#load-data

What happened?
==============
It mentions three methods:

1. Load from GitHub
2. Load from another server
3. Load from web platform project

What should have happened?
==========================
Methods 1 and 2 are probably broken by bug 1195518, which should be noted until it is fixed.

Method 3 was good for initial development, but should be removed now that the importer is more mature, along with tools/load_webcompat_data.py

Finally, the fastest way is not documented, to use the documentation test cases, such as:

tools/upload_data.py --data docs/v1/resources

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================

fix bug 1247071 - Loading documentation fixtures
