1471574 - [github] Provide UI to help development of taskcluster.yml's

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Taskcluster :: Services, enhancement)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

We have the quickstart, which is great for getting started.  But further development of the script means making changes and pushing to github to see what happens.

We could help out with a UI tool that:

* can load `.taskcluster.yml` from a repo, and then let you edit it in the UI
  (there's no need to write it back to the repo - users can copy/paste)
* can display policy settings as they would be parsed by taskcluster-github
* can simulate rendering using some "canned" github events or events provided by the user

I think this would blend well with the existing quick-start, making it more of a .taskcluster.yml development tool.

Still valid, looking for an owner.

:owlish were you working on something like that for github app? Do you thin this a good bug for mentoring an intern?

I was working on a smaller scope project which was fixing the Quick Start (it's broken right now). This bug includes that one and has some stuff on top. Yes, this would be a good thing for an intern to do!

I think this figures into an overall new approach to the GitHub integration.
