We got a note from comdev last month: ----- Dear Arrow PMC, TL;DR: You're missing a DOAP file. Details at https://projects.apache.org/create.html As you may know, the Community Development committee (ComDev) maintains a website [projects.apache.org](http://projects.apache.org/) which lists all ASF projects, and some basic details about them. These details are derived from DOAP (Description Of A Project) file that is maintained by each PMC. Your project does not have a DOAP file. This file is also referenced elsewhere, when such data is needed. When it's missing, the information can sometimes be sourced from other places, but sometimes this will result in your project being missing from various lists. For example, the listing of projects by category, or by programming language (https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?language) does not list your project, and thus you will not be discoverable by people looking for a project to get involved in. The instructions for creating and maintaining your DOAP file, along with a handy took for generating a file in the correct format based on a few questions. If you need any assistance in creating this file, please drop by the comdev mailing list, https://lists.apache.org/[email protected] --Rich, for Comdev -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
