Ah, so this means DOAP files are essentially deprecated, correct? Have we documented how PMCs are supposed to update their project's details, and communicated to pmcs@ the expectation that they must now keep this stuff updated instead of the DOAP files? This is really cool stuff, but I want to make sure that our 160++ projects actually understand what's going on (and will take the responsibility to keep their own info updated here), and that various outsiders who come to the site to find our projects get the information they need. - Shane > > With regards, > Daniel. >
