Hi,
Thank you and congratulations Jean-Baptiste for collating the data, that's
huge!
The next big thing would be to make them usable to consume.
Talking about Transtats:
It tries to bring a lot of things together that's its drawback and strength
at the same time.
--- which makes it complex!

As said on IRC:
* transtats is focused on package out of sync, which isn't something I
really worry about
As Transtats is evolving, package out of sync is one of the focused areas.
* the technology used by transtats is too complex for me to easily
step
in
It's a plain django application.
https://github.com/transtats/transtats/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md could be
a good starting point.
* I'm also unsure about the usecases transtats covers and it
probably
requires more promotion and measurement of the impact it have
An effort to refine those use cases and tweak them is underway!
* I'll be happy to have transtats front-end and have a dev to
develop
contribution features. For example, I have files with missing encoding,
uniq keys in duplicates, obvious errors to fix etc.
Probably Transtats can see the
https://jibecfed.fedorapeople.org/partage/compendium-full/ as one big
source of translations?
In the past, I had been doing something with map-filter-reduce (in hadoop)
in the same scenario for the same desired results.
* merging these two initiatives probably means to rewrite transtats,
which is a hard decision to take
I guess rewrite is not required. We may just need a job consuming your
datasets.
But I'm talking as an individual here, if transtats doesn't
answers my
usecase, it can still be useful for other users/personas.
Somehow, Transtats deals with multi-product / multi-tenancy environments
and
may be developed for multiple teams / stakeholders,
hence defining development priority in one direction sometimes looks
challenging.
How can we seriously discuss this and arrive with realistic options?
Next Flock? A dedicated event?
