The DOAP syntax allows for a lot of data that is better stored elsewhere. The bits that are unique to the DOAP are less likely to change, for example: - pmc - short and long description - language(s) - category(ies) - homepage - standard(s) if any I think these are the most important from the point of view of showing the range of projects at the ASF and enabling people to find a project that suits their interests and skills. I doubt it will ever be possible to ensure that fields like releases are kept up to date. It should be possible to get an idea of releases from the distribution repo (though the file naming can make that a bit of a challenge!) Likewise the SVM and download URLs should be readily available from the homepage. > --Rich > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
