Metadata collection feedback #27

Open ungoldman opened 7 years ago

ungoldman commented 7 years ago

Would it be feasible to create an intake form that fills a google sheet or something like that to more quickly and easily get data in a normalized format? I think individual rows could be fairly easily piped out into JSON metadata files from there.

i made this thinger, it works ok https://gist.github.com/maxogden/47c0884203a216c60495692ec782c5a5

was thinking a github bot that gave you json lint feedback might be cool too?

In the future, maybe it could be PRs rather than issues. The data.json file is the commit, and the other fields could still be part of the pr template md. The GitHub web interface would still make it easy to get going in a workshop-style event outline without tools and software.

👍

PRs support templates too (PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) -- and we could do json linting using travis

could build out a directory of metadata files that way, maybe even make them available via gh-pages. not sure what the long term objective is with how y'all want to use the metadata, just throwing out some ideas 😁
