- Umang
- 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
