Common Python harvesting lib - Was: Re: About bts-link's remote/ as standalone python package?

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

We've been thinking about these issues and had no time to dig in the
code, but we've several more ideas.

As I'm trying to explain here :
https://picoforge.int-evry.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Helios_wp3/Web/BugHarvesterArchitecture (and around), I'm thinking about a single python library which could be a common lib used by several tools, and have plugins for various bugtrackers.

It may output RDF data (for example in ontologies like EvoOnt BOM) which
could then be consumed by tools like bts-link.

We are also discussing that with people from the flossmetrics project
who started a project named "bicho" to harvest bugtrackers for a
repository of projects facts (European R&D project), also in Python...
so I hope there can be less duplication and more standards if we can
achieve such a plan.

I'll try to keep you posted as we move forward (with some code
hopefully ;)

Best regards,
