INSEE, XML and RDF

I discovered that the French Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) has published part of its data as XML and RDF:
We will try to put that data to good use.

Yesterday at Logilab we had a small meeting to discuss about a roadmap to Cubicweb 3.28 (and beyond), and we would like to report back to you from this meeting.
Cubicweb 3.28 will mainly bring the implementation of content negotiation. It means that Cubicweb will handle content negotiation and will be able to return RDF using Cubicweb's ontology when requested by a client.
The 3.28 will have other features as well (like a new variables
attributes to
ResultSet that contains the name of the projected variables, etc). Those
features will be detailed the release changelog.
Before releasing this version, we would like to finish the migration to heptapod, to make sure that everything is ok. The remaining tasks are:
Beside of releasing Cubicweb 3.28, its ecosystem will also be updated:
The goal of these two releases, is to have type annotations in the core libraries used by CubicWeb, and then to be able to bring type annotation into CubicWeb itself, in a future version.
On those projects, some “modernisation” has been started too ; (fixing flake8 when needed, repaint the code black). This “modernisation” step is still on going on the different projects related to CubicWeb (and achieved for yams, and logilab-common).
In the medium term, we would like to focus on the documentation of CubicWeb and its ecosystem. We do know that it's really hard for newcomers (and even ourself sometime) to understand how to start, what each module is doing etc. An automatic documentation has been released for some modules (see 1, 2 or 3 for instance). It would be nice to automatize the update of the documentation on readthedocs, update the old examples, and add new ones about the new feature we are adding (like content negotiation, pyramid predicates, etc). This could be done in team Friday's sprint or hackathon for instance. CubicWeb would also need some modernisation (running black ? and above all, make all files flake8 compilant…).
Regarding CubicWeb development, all (or, at least a lot of) cubes and Cubicweb related projects moved from cubicweb.org's forge to our instance of heptapod (4 and 5). Some issues have been imported from cubicweb.org to heptapod. New issues should be opened on heptapod, and the review should also be done there. We hope that will ease the reappropriation of the code basis and stimulates new merge-requests :)
To end this report, we like to emphasis that we will try to make a « remote Cubicweb meeting » each Tuesday at 2 pm. If you would like to participate to this meeting, it's with great pleasure (if you need the webconference URL, contact one of us, we will provide it to you). We also created a #Cubicweb channel on matrix.logilab.org ; feel free to ask for an invitation if you'd like to discuss Cubicweb related things with us.
All the best, and… see you next Tuesday :)
