Nice for the project page itself.

Also vendor + license seems a bit obvious, or am I missing something (I
assume incubator projects will adopt APL immidiately).

Also nice for the project page, not for a quick overview.

Maybe it is a communication problem, so let me know if my assumption is
wrong :

We are talking about generating a centralized page (= not on the project
webpage)  with the project information specified above, so that people that
want a quick look what's out there or want to quickly find where mailinglist
of project X is, can go to ?
If the answer to above is yes : cool and from a maven perspective the above
is what can be offered, based on the maven project.xml, and I can write a
maven plugin to generate that xml.
If you had something different in mind, please explain ;)

Mvgr,
Martin
