JSON File discussion

• Do we make it public?
  • Proposal to wait until Linux con to announce
    • Allows for time for feedback
    • Once available we can create a link
    • Make a news article that we're looking at it
• Proposal REST API's for license list
• Generally agreed that the name "licenses.json" was OK, but there may be some future conflict if we add other JSON formats (e.g. with more detail).
  • Agreed to start a thread on the name of the license list file on the tech list

Snippets

• Reviewed examples
• jQuery/Sizzle as another example
• Best practice should be to keep the file separate - but the JavaScript best practice is to combine the file

Use Case Review/Examples

• Jack added some SPDX 2.0 examples at http://wiki.spdx.org/view/Technical_Team/Best_Practices#Examples
• Create an examples git repository
• Example with snippets using comments - mashup with Java File
