Thank you for looking to bring your project to the LF Energy Foundation. Please put the name of the project in the title above replacing PROJECT NAME, and then answer the questions below to have this project be added to the agenda at a future TAC meeting for consideration as a new project. Please refer to the guideance in the project lifecycle.
Please also note you must be available to lead this discussion on a TAC meeting. You can get information on TAC meetings and how to join the meetings at https://wiki.lfenergy.org/display/HOME/Technical+Advisory+Council.
To provide a user-friendly and standardized way of editing Substation Configuration Language (SCL) filesOpenSCD is a platform to enable fully digital substations - from design and commissioning through to maintenance and replacement
(what it does, why it is valuable, origin and history)

Not for now; The current infrastructure/tooling options will fit for now.
OpenSCD is a good candidate becasue because it fits perfectly together with the other projects classified as Digital Substation Automation Systems, like CoMPAS, SEAPATH and FLedgeFledge. OpenSCD joinin will increase the presence in this field.
It would make collaboration with other projects easier, it would be easier from a communit community perspective attracting developers to the project. The project would also nenefot benefit from a 'marketing' perspective, being able to use the LF Energy resources. Having a neutral collaboration organisation/infrastructure.

The need to adhere to the IEC61850 System configuration language standard without the use of proprietary software and therefore reducing vendor-locking.
The plug-in architecture makes it easy for organisations to build their own plug-in and therefore tailor their engineering process to their needs. It allows vendor to add their vendor specific knowledge in a seperate plug-in.
Browser based: No need to install and manage seperate executables.
Enable/disable plug-ins: Ability to enable only the plug-in that are needed.

If accepted and we can move ahead without having to care too much about administraion administration and infrastucture infrastructure we would love to focus on communicatinf communicating the project and growing the community community.

No; Search on Linkedin on OpenSCD for a white paper; The project is promoted by e.g. CoMPAS, Omicron and theirefore already known by a bunch of engineers.
Does this project compete with other open source projects or commercial products?
Commercial partly competing: Siemens Sitipe, Scada for substations, CIM tool Vattenfall (older standard)SITIPE, HELINKS, ASE Inc/Kalkitech, IED vendor tools
