Instructions for uploaders
-----------------------------------------
http://openfontlibrary.org/en/guidebook/submission_guidelines
What is required?

    1+ Binary Font File (We want simply the most up-to-date OTF or TTF)

    LICENSE.txt or OFL.txt (copyright notice and license)

    FONTLOG.txt (documenting the release)

What is optional?

    Source files

    Web-optimized files (WOFF, SVG, OET)

    Image

What should be in the FONTLOG?

    SIL OFL FAQ says:

    A brief header describing the FONTLOG itself and name of the font family

    Basic Font Information - description of the font family, purpose and breadth

    ChangeLog - chronological listing of changes

    Acknowledgements - list of authors and contributors with contact information

    It could also include other sections, such as: where to find
documentation, how to make contributions, information on contributing
organizations, source code details, and a short design guide.

Show a real example:
TODO
IDEA: Other information that could be added to a FONTLOG is

    TODO

How to find relevant metadata?

    With a font manager

    With fontforge

    With showttf

    With ttx

Future Development
====================
IDEA: Write PHP to parse FONTLOG files, similar to the README file
parsing of wordpress plugins, where information from README is
displayed on the plugin page at wordpress.org.
Reference implementation of a README is at
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/readme.txt and they can
include an (optional) "Donate Link", which can lead to Paypal page, a
flattr page, a Gittip page...
Rafael Bastide: We could use my unified font structure project I
present tomorrow,
https://github.com/raphaelbastide/Unified-Typeface-Design/
davelab6: The font source repo idea needs three things to be fully realised:
1. Font Source Repo Specification
2. Font Source Repo Reference Implementation
3. Unit Tests that check an implementation matches the specification
OFLB can then become a great visual catalog for a list of git repos
that follow the MUST items in the specification.
I am developing http://github.com/xen/bakery - a Continuous
Integration server for fonts, that will help to automate the
implementation of SHOULD items in the specification, such as by
prompting the user to create them directly in the browser, or by
generating them from prior MUST/SHOULD items.
