✨ Enhancement: Publication page for new `format` registry

[gregsdennis]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

We're looking at starting an official registry for format values. See the proposal issue for more context.

Describe the solution you'd like

We need a place on the website to publish the list of formats. I expect that we'd want something that functions similarly to the tooling page that pulls from a source/data file (which we'd probably keep in the spec repo, but open to keeping it somewhere else).

The page itself needs to be closely associated with the specifications, so alongside those might be a good location.

For now, I think we just need design and publication ideas. Please have a read through the issue linked above to get the full idea we're going for.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

This discussion should be limited to the page itself. We can take input on what you might need/want from the source/data file, but ultimately its content will be determined by the TSC / Spec Team.

Are you working on this?

No

This is a really cool idea! Thanks, @gregsdennis! Is there an example of pages with similar functionality of what you have in mind?

[gregsdennis]

I have no ideas. That's the purpose of this issue.

( It's just the design idea )

Also, how will we be storing these formats data, i mean from where will we be fetching the content?

We will not be storing anything. We are a list. Many of the formats are defined by our Validation specification. Other formats will be defined by other specifications. We just need to list and perhaps link to where the definition for each format is.

@abhayymishraa I've hidden your comment as it doesn't pertain to this issue. It's more related to the registry itself. This is just how that registry is represented on the site. Your ideas (and please just include the high-level concepts, not the full-blown proposal) should be mentioned there.

[abhayymishraa]

I just understood . what about if we built the registry within the website. there will be a specific section for the registry and there we will implement make a interface for the registry of something like openAPI fromat. And we'll make a section where we list and link the defination of each format.

@abhayymishraa The registry will be hosted and managed in Github. The website is just a rendering. I'll continue this discussion offline in Slack.
