A couple ideas for potentially useful new meta-fields:

  • repo_url (or similar): A number of PRs I've reviewed include a link to the repository or website in the online_order_url field. Others embed that in the description field. Would it make sense to include a place for that as it's own field?

  • type: One other interesting bit of information that feels missing is some way to group stickers that represent similar things (e.g., events, organizations, software packages, etc.). For example, hex stickers are especially popular in the R community, as branding for packages. I could envision a predefined list to help keep things manageable.

If you're open, I could take a shot at this. One question would be whether it makes sense to define different types for different programming languages. My inclination is yes, although that might get unwieldy...

maybe we can just rename online_order_url to url to keep it open ended and simpler. for type i would just use npm style "keywords": ["r", "ropensci"]

This makes a lot of sense. I like the flexibility, and that it balances adding information without too many changes. I'll whip something up in another branch for you to take a look at.

@pkq you can go ahead and implement it, I trust your judgment :D
