Design idea

Scan the wiki contents and generate a code.json array element for each published wiki page referencing a distinct repository. Skip wiki pages for repository libraries.

Initiate the file generation through a Javascript function on a page in this repository's GitHub pages list of files. The function should only show for authenticated users that have administrator privileges on the wiki.

Use a configuration file to determine how keys in the code.json file are translated to and from the wiki pages, so the wiki display can be more human-readable than the keys required by the code.json schema.

Rather than trying to scrape from the wiki, would it make more sense to just scrape directly from a list of HHS repo servers (eg, GitHub orgs, GitLab orgs, etc) and generate the code.json from that file.

A human readable view of code.json can be generated via GitHub pages (ie, Jekyll).

The intent of using the Wiki as an intermediary is to allow adding source code repositories that are not maintained in git or even online. Querying online repositories would automatically update the corresponding Wiki pages. Allowing manual creation of other Wiki pages enables supplementing the inventory.
