Docs / Drive: Support and contribute to standards for migration / data portability and interoperability #116
Description
An evolving IETF draft (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-happel-mailmaint-pdparchive/; https://github.com/hhappel/draft-happel-mailmaint-pdparchive / "PDPA draft") proposes an open standard for importing / exporting personal data from groupware systems, which makes use of existing JMAP data formats (e.g., JSContact, JSCalendar).
This might be of interest in the light of various issues addressing data migration (import / export):
- Migration tool : HedgeDoc to Docs #14
- Migration tool : Outline to Docs #15
- Docs: migration from notion to docs #64
- Docs: API to export data #41
- Grist : migration from airtable to grist #71
- User friendly migration tool to La Suite apps #8
Potential topics to work on:
- Draft a "JSNotes" data model for interoperability ("JMAP for Notes") and data portability (as a format within a PDPA archive)
- Add experimental support for PDPA export/import to La Suite Docs / derive input for the PDPA draft
- Similar efforts might be done for La Suite Drive and the JMAP files draft (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jmap-filenode/)
- Discuss/collect general API requirements for data import / export
