Generate collated files about reposense

[harryggg]

but currently you can view the contribution of each person separately already....

Yes, but view is not enough. We have some python scripts that process individual collate files to generate some code quality data that are then used for grading.

The current design has a JSON for each repository. The JSON contains every lines of the code, and who authored it. Is that sufficient?

[damithc]

Not unless we rewrite the python scripts to process json files. As of now the python script just read the file and process if as plain text. Probably it is not hard to write a python script to convert from json to plan text. However, it is cleaner if the tool produces the files because then students will have a clean copy of their code that is independent of the tool, just like they do now. Anyway, not urgent right now. Can be a future enhancement.

Update: there is a partial solution using python https://github.com/reposense/convert-markdown
An integrated solution is preferable, but not a high priority.

@damithc Is this issue still relevant?

[damithc]

I think we don't need it anymore. Closing.
