.about.yml
schema and tools
The .about.yml
mechanism allows a project to publish and maintain metadata
that can be easily maintained by project owners, that is visible and
accessible to interested parties, and that can be harvested and processed by
tools and automated systems. It is implemented using the
YAML format.
The 18F Team API is the original, primary consumer of this information, which in turn provides data for:
We hope that every active 18F project, working
group, and
guild will publish
.about.yml
files in their respective repositories. By feeding this
information through the Team API server and into our Hub, Dashboard, and main
web site, cultivation of .about.yml
files will help make our activity more
easily transparent to our teammates, and to anyone outside our team who wishes
to discover what we're working on (and how we work).
