[jira] [Created] (FELIX-5900) Donating a tool able to generate markdown documentation for SCR and Metatype

             Summary: Donating a tool able to generate markdown documentation for SCR and Metatype
                 Key: FELIX-5900
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5900
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Simone Tripodi


after collected a series of feedbacks from  dev@sling.a.o , I am here to propose a couple of new Maven MOJOs to be included in the Felix codebase, able to generate final-user markdown documentation from SCR and Metatype medata descriptors.

Advantages of producing such documentation, are:
 * for an internal use, having such catalogue could reduce the development efforts, maybe there are services already available for certain operations that don’t need to be re-implemented; moreover, it can improve/simplify heterogeneous teams integration work.
 * from customers point of view, it would be good to know what solutions are already offered, to develop their needs on top of our solutions; moreover, under a security PoV, admins can have an overall view to identify which are potential entry-points that can be attacked.

If you want to have a look at the output, I tested the MOJOs against a couple of Apache Sling projects and collected all of them under a private public GitHub repo[1], it should be easy enough understanding how traverse rendered data.

How it works: it is a couple of plain-old Maven3 MOJOs which can be configured directly in the POM, I packaged already all the sources in order to be donated to the ASF, I just would like to start the discussion in order to understand if the community is interested on that tool and which steps are required in order to have it accepted. 
I identified the osgicheck-maven-plugin[2] as the best candidate in order to host the new codebase.
