.about.yml schema and tools

The .about.yml mechanism allows a project to publish and maintain metadata that can be easily maintained by project owners, that is visible and accessible to interested parties, and that can be harvested and processed by tools and automated systems. It is implemented using the YAML format.

The 18F Team API is the original, primary consumer of this information, which in turn provides data for:

We hope that every active 18F project, working group, and guild will publish .about.yml files in their respective repositories. By feeding this information through the Team API server and into our Hub, Dashboard, and main web site, cultivation of .about.yml files will help make our activity more easily transparent to our teammates, and to anyone outside our team who wishes to discover what we're working on (and how we work).
