Experience shows that fixing DOAPs can take months for some PMCs. One approach that might be worth trying is creating an additional on-demand report that checks the list of RDFs for known issues. Initially it could just check for asfext:PMC, but could be extended as other issues are found or better syntax checking is available. Checking for such simple typos could be done with almost any scripting language. The RDF files are listed in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/files.xml (DOAPs) and https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/pmc_list.xml (PMC definitions) Most of the PMC definitions are stored locally, and have already been fixed. > Regards, > > Hervé > >> >> > Cheers, >> > >> > -- >> > Sergio Fernández >> > Partner Technology Manager >> > Redlink GmbH >> > m: +43 6602747925 >> > e: sergio.fernan...@redlink.co >> > w: http://redlink.co >
