1 1  The [[License Review>>url:http://lists.opensource.org/mailman/listinfo/license-review_lists.opensource.org]] mailing list [[is considering>>url:http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2018-June/003384.html]] using a project management tool for public tracking of the license review process. This page is for collecting information related to this tool selection.

3 -== Requirements ==
3 +The License Committee recommends hiring a person to aid in the identification and implementation of a better workflow for license review. We have decided that the current email listserve is inadequate because it is exceedingly difficult to follow discussions, which reduces participation. The tasks that this person will undertake are:
4 4  
5 -For now, simply list any requirements you believe this tool //should// have. After collecting potential requirements we can categorise them into actual-requirements, nice-to-haves, and not-actually-required.
5 +* Identify an appropriate license-review vehicle with the below attributes
6 +* Implement the vehicle on an OSI-approved host
7 +* Create a complete, searchable database of all license-review emails, either incorporated into the tool or separate from the tool (currently emails are at at least three different urls)

10 +The person will also be asked to:
7 7  
12 +* create a maintainable system for making machine-readable licenses available.

23 +* Ability to comment on a license generally
24 +* Time-stamping of all comments and submissions
14 14  * Entirely separate discussions for each license
26 +* Easy to learn/refresh: this will be used intensively, but for many users only once (when they submit a license) or for most, 1-2x a year (current rate of seriously discussed license submisssions)
