I don't think that's a big problem with the description because it should rarely change. >> > > In the olden days there was a single status.txt file in the root of > the podlings svn, i quite liked that as it did make it easy to keep > things in sync.

The description is not really status information and should not change often; also I don't think it would be possible to propagate it to all the places that need it. Most of the status information is held in the podling status pages [1]; in theory the information therein could be used to create the Incubated (sic) Projects page [2] and the RHS Projects menu [3]. Failing that, it would be nice to be able to maintain [2] and [3] from a single file that listed all Incubator projects in an easy-to-use format. i.e. rather than update [2], one could update an alphabetical list of projects containing the basic status fields. In fact the project summary would be useful anyway, so perhaps one could start with it, and then work out how to maintain it from the podling status pages. S. P.S. Anyone fancy creating an index podling?!
