** License submittal workflow automation
*** Aim is to enhance user experience
*** Compare submitted text against existing licenses to see if there’s duplication or close match
*** Problems he’s trying address
**** What if the license is on the list, proposed, rejected…or a close match to one of those
**** Current XML formatting- word-wrap doesn’t match license
*** Also creating/documenting an API
** Tasks:
*** Create API- use without logging in, so can be accessed by other tools
*** Create License Matcher- looks for exact and close matches
**** Returns all matches and close matches
*** Compare with not accepted as well as rejected licenses.
**** Reports appropriately according to match
**** Relies on user input regarding whether to go ahead with submittal
*** Improve formatting of generated license
** Screenshots available at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NMcLZVXxBV2PZobPJh1OugbCfC2d8kbAOX4m4TauEYk/edit?usp=sharing

 ** Progress on Appendix for including other fields in the source like the license ID
-*** Keeping scope at file level
+*** Worked with Legal team members and general agreement to keep scope at file level
-*** Tags with SPDX prefix
+*** Recommend using existing Tags with SPDX prefix, and expectation that format follows fields.

+*** Motivation is that this makes it easier for tools to pick up data accurately from source.
-** Source file analysis
+** SPDX document generation from project sources (demo'd last month)
-*** Philip demoed
+*** Philip is looking for projects to try the tool on,   if you have some you want to experiment with,  please contact him.
