Scope of project
I think it would be nice to have some overview of the scope of the project. For example retrieving project versions and offering API endpoints to query are clearly within the scope, but things like offering configurable webhooks for distros is a bit foggy.
This can be very vague so I try to help with a few points that could help steer the discussion. I don't believe most things that I write as potential should be within scope, but I try to add them for completeness:
Ways to broadcast the found versions
Currently: rest API, fedora-messaging Potential: distro-specific webhooks, RSS-feed, other web API like graphql
Ways to retrieve versions
Currently: quite comprehensive Potential: more backends if PRs are made?
Release information
Currently: version, project definition Potential: release notes, timestamp of release, reason for drop release, contributors list, authors, source changes, license changes, release type, security updates
Filtering and transforming versions
Currently: filter latest and stable versions, filter tags by semver/calendar etc. Potential: customizable regex transformations, more filters like newest version, regex pattern, etc.
Authorization
Currently: logged-in users can do anything Potential: limit editing of distro-options (currently none) to admins/proven-packagers
Authentication
Currently: FAS account Potential: Other OAuth linked to supported backends (Github, Gitlab, etc.), ephemeral users (not stored locally)
Project/distro management
Currently: Potential:
Integration with other distros
Currently: Only Fedora Potential: Configurable webhooks, strongly coupled configurations
Code structure
Modernizing the python project, changing the build backend, organizing files, src-layout or not, etc.
That is a good summary, I just want to add that for OAuth support there is a PR open right now.
And there are plenty of other open issues that are addressing the potential. The only problem I have is to find the time to work on them.
Indeed, I was trying more to get an overview of what needs prioritization, what we should deffer to other projects, what needs help, which topics are difficult to research/could use discussions from community/contributors, etc.
Also feel free to edit top-level comment as you see fit.
