Use YAML lists for authors and relatedFeps metadata fields #177

silverpill commented 2023年09月25日 18:21:57 +02:00

authors field is a string containing comma-separated values:

authors: Alyssa P. Hacker <alyssa.p.hacker@email.example>, Chatty Ben <@ben@fediverse.example>

The string can be converted into YAML list in order to make parsing easier: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-a4ed-the-fediverse-enhancement-proposal-process/1171/112

Requires updating FEP-a4ed, so should only be done after #134 is resolved, and requires broad support by all editors.

At least one FEP facilitator (@helge) was against this: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/discussion-how-to-update-fep-a4ed/3603/8.

I like the idea, but I can't commit to updating our python scripts. Also the major downside of this will be an introduction of external dependency (pyyaml). Currently we only use modules from Python standard library, so FEP facilitators can use scripts without dealing with python package managers and virtual environments.
