Description

Hi Flo,

I commented similarly on another related endeavour, incidentally you guys should talk, it may also be another output format for you/input format for afterglow ( https://github.com/brunchboy/afterglow/issues/1 ).

Anyway, we already provide some basic personality info that we capture for fixtures, see for example:
http://rdm.openlighting.org/model/display?manufacturer=21075&model=84

But we actually capture a lot more in the background (although I'll admit I'm not certain if it's currently thrown away, or is actually stored in the back end and just not presented), e.g.:
https://github.com/OpenLightingProject/ola/files/1107996/robin_dl7s_profile.robe.txt

Essentially you could make use of this info (via some API), to pre-populate/produce initial templates for your fixture library. so users don't have to do some of the basic typing.
