We should maintain a list of all the IATI related APIs somewhere, possibly with a list of relevant contacts, and whether the developers are involved in this working group.

- CSV Conversion Tool (used for the registry CSV link)

In development

Such a feature matrix would enable the Working Group to chart next steps.
We are looking for volunteers to work on this
