Description 

The project DRman aims to develop a standalone utility for Verifiable Credential Registries (VCR) management. It includes functionalities like credential creation, verification, modification, and revocation, enabling easy management of the registry. The project has three significant aspects: DID Registry creation, member onboarding, and DID management. The project seeks to address migration issues by migrating the project from GitHub to GitLab to make it infrastructure-agnostic.

The project DRman has an end goal of developing a stand-alone utility to provision VCR. The utility can also be used to administer the registry containing credentials issued by the organizations.  The functionalities like creation, verification, modification, and revocation of credentials, form the core of this project as it enables the administrator to manage the VCR with ease. 

...

• Creation (of DID Registry): Function to create a DID Registry for an organization on Git. 
• Onboarding: Function to add enable/restrict access to members of an organization to a repository (e.g., using a combination of GitHub private tokens, GitHub username & users DID). 
• Management: Function to list APIs that are needed to add/update/revoke access DID’s or (DID Document) saved as files on the repository.

...

• Graduate or master's students with a focus on software development or related fields.
• Knowledge of decentralized identity concepts and familiarity with Hyperledger frameworks, specifically Aries and AnonCreds.

• Proficiency in Shell Scripting and Rust programming languages.

• A history of contributing to open-source projects, ideally demonstrated by at least one resolved issue, and a strong interest in the Hyperledger ecosystem.

Future plans

Our goal is to enhance DRMan's capabilities for comprehensive DID Registry management on GitLab, incorporating the Hyperledger AnonCreds specification and extending GitHub operations. We aim to seed the project within Hyperledger Labs to significantly extend its reach and impact.
