This all sounds awesome. > #4 might totally replicate the things in the Wiki. Further, I have no > idea how to nicely show this. Especially once automated. Thoughts? I think the key question is whether we want a separate page or web-site that lists our modules (by moduleset). We previously had projects.gnome.org, and that was retired because it didn't get a huge amount of attention, and because our own focus tends to be on the wiki. Thinking in terms of objectives, my personal priority for us as a project is to have a clearly identified moduleset listing that our contributors are exposed to. Another issue with a dedicated page or site that lists projects is that it would likely be separate from the regular workflows of contributors. One of the issues with projects.gnome.org was that people didn't use it a huge amount - since we're mostly on the wiki, Bugzilla or git.gnome.org anyway. So, my suggestion would be to: 1. Ensure that Bugzilla and git.gnome.org are sorted according to the modulesets - so that contributors are exposed to the modulesets within their typical workflows, and to avoid creating yet another website. 2. Use this data in the various development websites, so they are more interconnected. Each of the product pages in Bugzilla points to the relevant git module, but it doesn't link to mailing lists. Likewise, the summary page for each module on git.gnome.org could have outgoing links to Bugzilla product pages, mailing lists, or wiki pages.
