Sebb commented on WHIMSY-4:
---------------------------
Looks good generally.
The reporter.a.o app needs joining dates and PMC creation date please.
It would be useful to add the full names alongside the availids.
For the committees that don't appear in section 3, perhaps the entries in
section 1 should be automatically added to memberUid ?
What about a timestamp?
Would that be easy to add?
Note: the emeritus sections could probably be dropped now?
> Create public sanitised version of committee-info.txt

> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> The committee-info.txt (CI) file contains the canonical information for the
> composition of PMCs etc. This information is needed by various other scripts
> and is supposed to be synched to various web pages.
> It would be very useful to create a sanitised, structured version of the CI
> file for consumption by other apps, for example people.apache.org,
> projects.apache.org, reporter.apache.org.
> Whimsy already has access to the file, it would just need to reformat it and
> publish it on the public part of the site.
> The advantage of using Whimsy to create a sanitised version is that only one
> place would be responsible for the cleaning up process.
> Ideally the format would be readable by both humans and computers.
> So perhaps JSON would be suitable (Python supports this).
> Probably best to recreate the file on a timed basis rather than as an
> svnpubsub client. [In the case of svnpubsub it may not be easy to determine
> if the process has stopped working, or there have been no recent updates to
> the file]. In any case the file should contain a timestamp.
> The following data is needed as a minimum:
> PMC names (foundation date) and chairs (name and availid)
> PMC members (name and availid) and joining dates
> Similar info for the other Committees (Board, President's, W3C)
> Reporting schedules:
> - quarterly months with contents
> - next month list (not sure if comments are needed)
> There are some PMCs that were re-established after having been disbanded.
> In this case the dates should probably be taken from the most recent
> incarnation?
