I've noticed some TLPs don't have DOAP files, and many others are not
well-maintained.
As I understand it, these were once used to populate projects.apache.org[1]
But, I do not think they have any current use. (please correct me if I'm
wrong)
The premise of the file ("to be listed on this site") is certainly false,
at the very least.
And, despite the numerous site checks Whimsy does, checking for DOAP does
not appear to be one of them, though it does provide a link, if it exists
for a project.My questions are: Is a DOAP file required? If so, by what policy and for what purpose? Thanks, Christopher [1]: https://projects.apache.org/create.html
