Enhancements for software catalog entries #111

Description

@bernhold

The following ideas have been suggested for additional content in the software catalog schema:

  • license (Hal Finkel)
  • product logos (Hal Finkel)
  • dominant programming languages (Hal Finkel)
  • foundation membership
  • testimonials (inspired by Helmholtz software catalog)

The following content can already be accommodated, but product teams should be explicitly encouraged to provide it:

  • tutorials (Hal Finkel)

The following information may or may not be appropriate for the product catalog, but needs to be discussed:

  • funding information (David Rabson)
    • Concern that this might be hard to get from product teams and get them to keep it current
    • Might be more appropriate to include on the product's main website?

Other improvements:

  • Improve previous/next navigation. Add product names? Double nav links for alphabetical and by-area navigation?
  • Do we want to cross-link product mentions within the product catalog? This can easily be done with the sw-link-mention.html include function. We're already using it in the highlights.
  • Generalized support for packaging?
    • Is this useful? How many products in our catalog have other packaging? A few will be available through various Linux distros.
    • Note that currently, both E4S and Spack are presented as links to relevant documentation portals they maintain. Can we use a similar abstraction for other packaging?
