How it could work – functionality overview

The catalogue:

• indexes software projects and teams;
• indexes organizational and technical aspects of software development;
• covers all development efforts performed in GÉANT;
• introduces a unified structure for stored information;
• is collected in a single and easily available place;
• is accessible only by GÉANT community members;
• is continuously updated – so that the risk of having an outdated information is minimal.

Information maintenance:

• Information about a particular project is maintained by an individual maintainer of the project.
• Information is collected in an automated way as much as possible.

Examples of projects:

• End-user application development;
• Middleware development;
• Delivery of supporting tools (e.g. GIT, JIRA);
• Delivery of supporting services (e.g. software audits, trainings);
