Distribution Mob Ideas

[alexrichey]

I've put two hours on the calendar. I'm looking for areas/topics of work where that we can make significant progress on / finish in that time, provided we don't fall into a Pizza coma.

Features:

• FTP Connector
• Generalizing away anything DCP specific.
• CLI command/flag to discard revisions

Documentation:

• General improvements to readability / understandability
• Propose new format/location for docs
• Document the Distribution Process (per SF, below)

Quality of Life Refactors

• Implement TemplatedMetadata class, to introduce some type-safefy around the templated versions of the metadata
• Re-usable typer command arguments. (If possible.) To ensure some consistency between commands, e.g. -m always standards for metadata_path, etc.
• Linting for yaml (e.g. enforcing line lengths, etc.)
• Standardizing/Cleaning up Error Messages.
• Refactor Unit Tests to use test Product Metadata repo.

I would like to add distribution process description under the Documentation section. my vote is for the first 2 sections.

there a couple of older issues with lists of ideas for distribution/packagaing/metadata

So I'm thinking maybe it makes sense to truly mob (ie everyone working at the same problem) for documentation, then we can maybe split up and pair on a few things, or just work solo, with me available to answer any questions.
