+ <p>The data about Apache projects on this site is generated at least daily
by cronjobs running Python scripts from various data sources.
+ Various cronjobs check authoritative ASF data sources for updates, and
then cache data needed by this website (and possibly other websites) in
+ a variety of JSON files that are checked into a Subversion repository for
safety and simplicity of backups.
+ This site then uses JavaScript and a variety of visualization tools to
dynamically display charts and listings of Apache project metadata.
