Re: disabling edit feature in https://projects-new.apache.org/

2015-04-13 Thread Hervé BOUTEMY
while working on missing Forrest info, I'm now completely convinced we should 
not edit json but completely generate them from existing DOAP and project.a.o 
contents

then I'll immediately disable the edit feature: this can easily be reverted 
later

And I'll add a link to existing information on how to add a new TLP

Regards,

Hervé

disabling edit feature in https://projects-new.apache.org/

2015-04-12 Thread Hervé BOUTEMY
Hi,

I'm working on https://projects-new.apache.org/ , trying to figure out the 
whole information flow for informations about our projects: I like this new 
site, but IMHO we can't switch until we're clear on that.


And it seems the edit feature currently cause inconsistencies since it edits 
site's svn simplified json content, instead of DOAP which is AFAIK the current 
project description standard [1]


There are only few projects that used the feature, then it's not too late to 
fix the issue before it gets worse and people are lost.


IMHO, adding a link to this DOAP page in projects-new's about page would do 
the job = explain people how to add their project (perhaps some additionnal 
instructions are required, I'm not sure)

WDYT?

Regards,

Hervé
