The second prototype of Newt integrates CITATION.cff syntax for application metadata and GitHub YAML issue template (abbr: GHYT) syntax for data models.

Three utilities are planned for prototype 2.

• newt web service (data router) supporting improved YAML syntaxes
• newtgen for generating SQL, HTML and templates from data models described in GHYT syntax
• newtmustache implementing a light weight Mustache template engine with the ability to resolve partial templates at startup
