Description

One of my "design" goals for the new site is to look for opportunities to make data more reusable, whenever possible. For example, our CHANGELOG will be formatted as YAML so that it can be parsed and used in templates. This allows the changelog to be rendered as markdown, HTML, or even pulled down from the GitHub API and consumed by some other application or lib.

I also believe that - if executed well - this will make the site more accessible, scalable and maintainable.

  • changelog: version (object|key), date (string), changes (associative array)
  • language features (todo)

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by reviewing the proposed changelog fields and the related Docs API issue. Clarify the scope for changelog and language-feature data, then document an agreed schema that supports the stated rendering and API uses.
