So I'm a teensy bit confused.
on PMC RDF files, it was fully centralised, and I see now that some PMCs chose to host externally on projects DOAP files, it is de-centralised for a long time (notice: "PMC RDF files" vs "projects DOAP files") I don't remember precisely last discussions, but I am one who wants to keep DOAP files de-centralised: my rationale is that projects DOAP files contain a lot of data that can be updated often (like releases) PMC RDF files require a lot less maintenance: keeping them centralised seemed sufficient for a long time It's good to see some interest back on DOAP files content ad organisation, now that the projects.apache.org rendering makes them really useful: a few years ago, trying to open any discussion on that was deemed to failure. But any change is hard, since every PMC will have to be involved.
