[UA-Measurement] finding non-compatible UA code in github

[Marc Blanchet]

Hello,
  as promised, here is a proposal on what could be done to find 
non-compatible UA code in github.
to be discussed during the call today.

Regards, Marc.

========================================
Finding non-compatible UA code in github

1) from the testing of libraries and languages for UA compatibility, 
identify the signature of those librairies (the compatible and 
non-compatible).
2) identify the standard language/framework calls that are known to not 
be UA compatible
3) develop a crawler that would go through github (repos source code), 
search for the signatures/calls listed in 1) and 2), and put this in a 
« database » with various meta-data of the repositories, which would 
help prioritize the repos.
4) report the findings of both types (UA compatible and non-compatible)
5) identify a strategy to contact the maintainers of the repos that 
require attention
6) contact the maintainers and « train » them on what should be 
done.
7) go back to 1,2,3 and further enhance the search, the signatures, 
etc…
