Standardize a set of metadata that would be useful to scan a server and build an index of interviews for a site like courtformsonline.org #534

Or is it enough to scan all of the YAML files in the data/questions folder and see if we can find the metadata block?

Can we automate adding this file via PR to people's repos?

After looking into this more, the /list?json=1 endpoint will display the contents of a file's metadata block. So that's really where we should be focusing, not creating a new file.

This should include some information that helps track whether a form is up to date. A2J author calls this "citations".

From discussion today, it should be mostly an unstructured field. But we could nudge authors to include things like:

  1. Original court form number + date published
  2. Fee amounts (courts revise fee schedules)
  3. Original up to date law check (not exactly the same as the last date the GitHub repo was touched)
