Description

We are planning on having a crawler collect information from proposals for display. At the moment the following are necessary:

  • title : text string
  • short description (max 150 characters?) : text string
  • champion : array of strings
  • author : array of strings
  • test : URL
  • specification : URL
  • code sample : code block (text string)
  • resources (github repo, etc) : array of urls
  • proposal group (if applicable) : proposal group name

Is anything missing from this list?

<edited to add proposal groups, code samples, and types for the information>
