This is NOT the official copy. This is for awareness and adoption of the NTIA SBOM FAQs as part of the NTIA SBOM activities.
GitHub Markdown was used (as opposed to HTML) for ease in updating by a wider group. Markdown is intended as easy-to-read, easy-to-write like a plain-text email.
There is one branch which is what is published - what is at https://www.ntia.gov/files/ntia/publications/sbom_faq_20200821.pdf
Note that most of the drafting work will occur in the Awareness & Adoption Working Group as part of the NTIA Software Transparency Multi-stakeholder Working Group. GitHub is proposed for change control and to reach out to a wider audience for comment once there is consensus within the Working Group.
For those not participating in the A&A WG, the process would be:
- generate an issue (https://github.com/sparrell/NtiaSbomFaq/issues/new/choose) to record a problem or a missing question
- draft proposed text which ideally would be submitted by a Pull Request (PR) against the working branch;
- Awareness & Adoption working group reviews the change at their convenience and reject, modify, or approve
- approved changes are applied to approved branch
- maintainer closes relevant issue if one exists
- NTIA periodically updates website from approved branch and published branch is updated accordingly
