WMO CAP Composer¶
The WMO CAP Composer is a web-application based on Wagtail to help National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) create and managing alerts formatted using the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) as per OASIS CAP standard version 1.2.
The WMO CAP Composer provides a user-friendly interface to create CAP alerts that can be drafted, reviewed, and published as pages on the website. The WMO CAP Composer also hosts an RSS feed to enable the distribution of the CAP alerts to other systems.
Wagtail is an Open Source CMS written in Python and built on the Django web framework. By using Wagtail, the WMO CAP Composer can offer a user-friendly interface to create CAP alerts that can be drafted, reviewed, and published as pages on the website.
