🤔 Problem

I need to document metadata about my projects and data. For example:

• who is the project leader
• project dates
• links to external resources
• data collection date
• the name of the machine that collected the data
• protocol for collecting data

🎯 Solution

When I add documentation to my project, I can choose from two different kinds of documentation: Free-text Project Page Documentation and Key-Value metadata. This pitch describes how the key-value metadata works. Both types of metadata display on the project page, as their own boxes.

I can enter key-value metadata about my project

• Key-value format
• nice to have: type validation (dates, etc)
  • string (utf-8), date (iso), number
  • avro - way to specify schemas

On group pages, I can see a summary of all key-value metadata for all projects in the group
