Can someone summarize what's wrong with the gump descriptor used by

I understand we may need to add more stuff ( maybe using some ns: ), but I don't quite understand why we need to change existing definitions.
If you look at the proposed DTD, apart from the root element, there is basically nothing that the Gump descriptor cannot cope with.
It's the route we've taken with Forrest, and my proposal takes from that.
Sounds good. What about the root element :-) ?
It has been asked by many to change the root element to <project>, and the <project> to <subproject> (or similar), but it should be made to work with both semantics, for backward compat.
As long as it just add more info to the existing projects.xml files -
I'm happy. The other question is if gump can ignore the extra info - but I assume it can, at least from the xsl that I understand so far.
It can. As I said, the trick is not to use href="" attributes in the extra elements, since Gump expands/resolves them during the runs.
BTW, after adding these tags, I looked into the alexandria legacy descriptors, and found most of them! Seems like history repeating... ;-)
Ok, I think I have had enough to get started.
I'll go with this pseudo-DTD, and once it's defined as a formal DTD and the new summary pages get published, our Maven friends can add the info to the Gump plugin.
Moving this work to Alexandria-Gump...
