202402.json should not be available yet?

[AlexanderPuckhaber]

Unless GT is releasing course schedules a semester ahead of time, then how is the crawler getting data for Spring 2024 semester?

202302.json and 202402.json are different (course crns appear to be different, to start with), but locations seem to be the same based on a spot check.

Asking b/c gt-scheduler opens to Spring 2024 by default, and I went to wrong lecture hall b/c i thought it would open to Fall 2023 by defualt :P

Was OSCAR published for Spring 2024 earlier, by mistake, and the scraper has that data? If so, I would propose deleting 202402.json until we are sure it is available/accurate

On Oscar, if you go to "Browse Course Catalog", you'd be able to find Spring 2024 schedule published there. We're not sure if Georgia Tech published it by mistake but the crawler fetches term data as they become available.

We've got some feedback that it's confusing to have Spring 2024 set as the default semester during this season though, so it'd be a good idea to fix it. I'll keep gt-scheduler/website#246 open for that.

But lmk if you have any other comments. Otherwise, I'll go ahead and mark this issue as resolved!
