Currently no one is working on this feature. We had a version of this implemented for the old FOSSology UI (version 0.6.0) but it was not completed, and was never updated to match the current UI and API implementations. This would be an exciting and valuable contribution. > Further I want to know that if nobody is working on this feature and > we would start to work on it, what the conditions would be to be to > get our implementation accepted as contribution and who will take care > about further maintenance (we need an editable textfile as export)? We would review the implementation and assuming it worked well and assuming we understood how it worked, incorpoate it into the code base. As far as further maintenance, I expect you and us could continue to maintain it as needed through future versions. > I'm asking because I did not find any information regarding that, if I > simply missed it please point me to the right location. You did not miss it. Thanks for asking here on the mailing list. If you want to begin work on a plugin, I recommend that you connect with Bob Gobeille, the chief FOSSOlogy architect. He can give you some tips and pointers, and he can answer any detailed technical questions you have. If you like, we would be happy to meet with you virtually to discuss this in more detail, provide you with some starting points, tips, pointers, etc. I would also highly recommend that you join the conversation on the FOSSology IRC (internet relay chat) channel. It is #fossology on irc.oftc.net. Most of the active FOSSology developers "hang out" here, and can be reached quickly and informally for help or feedback on the FOSSology code. Meanwhile, if you are interested, you would be welcome to join the FOSSOlogy development meeting which is currently held weekly on Thursdays, 13:00-14:30 Mountain time (UTC-0700). We expect to change this in the near future, so stay tuned.
