TODO: use template for issue

[mhdawson]

Currently uses make-node-meeting for content of github issue.

Would be better if a template was used. Extract the part which creates the time from make-node-meeting and use templates instead for the issue generation.

I would love to help create the structure of a template based on some of the formatting/content structure issues I have with make-node-meeting. Would you be interested in this?

[mhdawson]

@bnb sure. If I understand correctly you'd like to propose a standard template that each WG could start with ?

@mhdawson just want to ask what do i have to do?

(I have no idea.)

[mhdawson]

@cPhost the steps I'd suggest are:

1. Figure out how to extract the part which generates the time section from node_modules/make-node-meeting/make-node-meeting.sh That is all we really need from that script at this point.
2. Duplicate that logic in create-node-meeting-artifacts which creates the template for the google doc, except have it read the template information from meeting_issue_base_XXX where XXX is TSC, Release etc. as specified when the script is launched
3. Update create-node-meeting-artifacts to populate the issue with the output from 2) instead of make-node-meeting.sh

Does that make sense ?

[priyank-p]

I will start working on it. Thanks.

@mhdawson i can get the date with out make-node-meeting using a bash script but currently dont know what to change in step 2^.

[mhdawson]

@cPhost we can either call make-node-meeting and extract the date info, or look at how it gets it and duplicate it in Node.js so we can put it directly into create-node-meeting-artifacts and not have to call make-node-meeting at all.

I'd prefer removing the call to create-node-meeting-artifacts if that is possible.

In terms of what to change in step 2, the current code calls make-node-meeting and uses the string returned as the content for the issue. What we want to do instead is to read a new template from a file, substitute the appropriate values into it (like the date info). We already use a template to get the the string used to create the google doc and we should be able to duplicate some of that code and update to read in from a different template file).

If this does not make sense from what you can see in the code then we should try to schedule a time to do a hangout and walk through it together.
