Dear Heroes, As mentioned in the last Heroes meeting we (Jens, Martín and I) are looking into building a user-friendly REST API to allow users across the entire platforms (web, Matrix, Telegram, Discord, future forums) to perform a variety of queries. The ultimate goal is to make important community tools and services more accessible by providing a single, user-friendly interface where basically any question that doesn't need a human respondent can be addressed by a simple query. (That's half the of it; it other half is to make channels, people and activities more discoverable, but that's for another day.) The domain of resources we want to provide access to is evolving as we learn new things about oS infra but it goes roughly like: - packages listed under "zypper search" - packages displayed on build.opensuse.org - documentation - the opensue bugzilla - progress/pagure - community news & activities (from news-o-o) and more. Now before we start building new tools we'd like to see if we can use tools that exist already. Thus we would like to know a few things: 1) Since this API is likely to depend on bots to provide in-app searches, we need to know if the bots bridging between the various instant messaging services could be used to forward queries to the API. Who's maintaining that / these bots and where can read the code? 2) Bugzilla comes with a REST API from version 5+; does bugzilla.opensuse.org have this feature currently enabled? Who should we get in touch with to negotiate enabling it? 3) Does Progress expose an API for doing queries and if yes, where's the docs about using this feature? Thanks a lot, any piece of information would be greatly appreciated! Best, Adrien
