Support other file formats for "upload" during UI submission flow

[Misjohns]

Problem

Currently, the UI supports the ability for a user to upload a YAML file into the knowledge and skills contribution wizard. The Upload YAML pulls in that data into the wizard form fields, runs the necessary checks and formatting ,and lets a user submit their contribution or download the corrected YAML. Unfortunately, creating a YAML can be difficult and not all SMEs will have the necessary skills or feel comfortable using that format.

Recommendation

Provide a user the ability to complete a form, and then upload via the UI.

Possible form formats:

• Google form
• Word document
• Text document
• Etc.

Benefits

Aids user in a number of ways:

• Ability to work offline
• Ability to collaborate and conduct reviews on a contribution
• Etc.

What do you think about these most commonly used data formats besides YAML? YAML is still the best, but some people might have different preferences.

• JSON
• TOML
• XML
• CSV

@vancura Absolutely, let's add those to the list. My list focuses on non-technical users that do not have a dev background.
