Extractor Catalog Design

We are in the process of designing an improved Extractor Catalog view to help users discover extractors that are accessible to them and to see which ones others are using within their community.

High-Level Goals

Our main goals in this process are to empower users to more easily:

• Organize and sort your community’s extractors as the number available grows with labels and filters
• Discover new extractors that are already running and accessible to the community
• Track statistics, metrics, and history for individual extractors
• Debug and find support when problems are encountered with an extractor
• Foster community building by allowing users to rate and comment on extractors
• Learn about and keep up-to-date on the details of extractors as they evolve over time
