Hi again Assaf,
I've written an improved version, which generates a tabular file with
more fields
http://savannah.gnu.org/cooperation/v0/index.md
Sounds good to me, in general.
Minutiae that I can't resist suggesting:
- Put the "type" field (short, comprehensible, useful) second in the
line after "package", before "name" and "description" (long).
- The type should be more than just gnu or nongnu. There is also
"www.gnu.org portions", "gug", and "www.gnu.org translation" -- see
end of http://savannah.gnu.org/cooperation/groups.tsv. (It would be
nice if those long strings were some single-word identifier, but I
don't know if such an identifier already exists.)
- I suggest "registration_{date,epoch}" instead of "since_". That usage
of since is not immediately understandable.
- I suggest "url_savannah" or maybe "url_savannah_project" instead of
"url_devel". "devel" could mean anything, e.g., a vc url.
Thanks,
Karl
