 The 'name' attribute in the JSON in "attic.js".

That is the text for the project list in the RH menu, and is free-format.
It's not directly convertible into a dist/ directory name.
So I agree that a dist attribute would be needed for at least some entries.

That is the reason for the “website” field. If we want to use the name
alone, that field could be split in 2.

  IHMO it is better to derive attribute 'website' (as $dist.apache.org)
  from a 'dist' attribute, than the other way around ; nevermind.

I hope dist names are the same as TLP website names but I've not checked.
The field “board” was added where I had problems between the TLP name
used in Whimsy and the normal name.

  I see only two entries with non-empty "board" fields ;
  the first isn't necessary ; the second isn't helpful
  in mapping to the right /dist/GHOST tag :

    "name":        "Crimson",
    "board":       "crimson",

    "name":        "Standard C++ Library (STDCXX)",
    "board":       "Cxx_Standard_Library",

  Let's have a 'dist' attribute for entries that need it.
  default : lowercase($name).
  sanity  : if $name matches whitespace then $dist must not be empty.

  Let's remove 'board' in entries where board == ''.
