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.
