publiccode.yml
is forMany great software projects are developed by public administrations, however reuse of these projects is very limited. Some of the reasons for low uptake of such projects is a lack of discoverability and that it is hard to find out what project can actually work in the context of a different public administration.
The publiccode.yml
file is meant to solve all those problems. It is
an easily readable file for civil servants that are trying to figure out
whether a project will work for them, and easily readable by computers as
well. It contains information such as:
concept
, development
, beta
, stable
,obsolete
;The publiccode.yml
file format should both be able to easily be added to any
new project, as well as grow with the project as it expands beyond the original
context it was developed in.
Finding projects depends on how the search API is structured for every hosting
platform. For example, you can find all publiccode.yml
on GitHub files by
searching using the frontend or the API.
