I'm very interested in this. In fact, just last week I was looking at the DOAP listing (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/files.xml) and noticed that numerous projects are missing. We'd love to see that list be complete. > > I would be happy the Crawler component could become useful to the Allura > Platform; the benefit > would be that the user searching on Allura would find also projects hosted > elsewhere; within > Allura there could be a detail page on the project from which the user could > eventually jump > to the external project or download pages. > > If this makes sense, I hope that you will keep an eye on this project and > maybe also give me > some hints, We'd love to see more of your ideas in this direction.
