Report on the Toolhub project for the week ending 2021-10-22
See the on-wiki progress report [0] for additional details and clickable links.
== TL;DR == * Toolinfo schema v1.2.0 marked as stable * Bug fixes * Figure out how to deal with duplicate toolinfo records * Multiple authors * Content ownership/modification model * Growth of toolinfo in week 1
When Toolhub launched on 2021-10-14 there were 1472 records in the system. These came from various toolinfo.json URLs previously registered with Hay's Directory and new content scraped from enwiki. As of this writing on 2021-10-22 the directory contains 1631 records, a 10% increase. The bulk of these new records come from work by Magnus Manske to ensure that all of his tools (including old, obsolete, and unmaintained tools) are documented. 22 new toolinfo records have also been created directly in Toolhub by users.
The Toolhub team has been excitedly watching talk pages, Phabricator tasks, mailing lists, and error logs this week. Reception by the community thus far is positive. Users are interacting with Toolhub to explore it's data. Some are exploring the boundaries of the current implementation and providing feedback about how it met their expectations and ideas for future improvements.
The team will be meeting in the coming week to talk more about what is next for Toolhub and the team itself. Check back next week for more details about those future plans.
