Coding Period Week-5 meeting-1

Attendees

Updates

  • Created UI Wireframes with Figma for ScanCode copyright and author.

Discussions

  • The first idea is to have a separate browser for ScanCode agent link.

  • Michael suggested not to use these as ScanCode-Toolkit project is recognized mainly for it's license scanning now keeping only Copyright and Author information in this section whereas licenses in another section will be confusing for users.

  • Gaurav also didn't approve this idea.

  • The second idea is to reuse existing Copyright and Email/URL/Author browser link.

  • Reusing copyright and Email/URL/Author browser section seems to be nice idea.

  • Michael didn't find navigation between ScanCode agent and FOSSology Copyright agent using drop-down a good options. It seems to be lost. So instead of drop-down using tabs would looks nice.

  • No need to repeat users finding for ScanCode agent as user is not interested in providing decision for a particular agent but instead they do for a file.

  • Michael proposed following idea instead

for Copyright Browser

for Email/URL/Author Browser

  • It reuses Copyright and Author browser space.

  • There is no redundant user decision for copyright agent.

  • Looks nice to all the attendees.

  • Discussion regarding how to display scanner findings in the Copyright/Email/Url/Author clearing section for a file.

  • Michael, Avinal and Sarita disused to add a column named source in the scanner finding table like license table in the clearing section.

  • Under this source column two keyword could be use one 'S' for ScanCode findings and 'F' for FOSSology Copyright agent findings.

  • Gaurav suggested not to use this idea because for the same copyright statement, Fossology and ScanCode can have different scan result.

  • In case of license, there is License_ref table which provides same license name for all the different agents for a license do no mismatching is there.

  • Doing same for Copyright will require lot of time.

  • Gaurav Suggested two ideas for the same

  • There can be two tabs to switch between ScanCode Findings and FOSSology Copyright Findings.

  • Second idea is to ask user about a default agent out of FOSSology copyright and ScanCode for an upload and display copyright/email/url/author result by the default agent.

  • Gaurav would like to discuss further in the next meeting.

Upcoming Plans

  • Implement Micheal's proposed idea for copyright browser and Email/URL/Author Browser.

  • Take feedback from other mentors too.
