A bit more work for httpd than your "~name/public_html/community or some such" proposal, but combined with your suggested merger of http://www.apache.org/~jim/committers.html and ~coar/people.html, it would appear to address most objections I noted on the thread. One that it doesn't address is Ben Hyde's view that that the chaotic "mess", where there are committers who don't even know that they can create a public_html, much less feel encouraged to do so, is different from a seeming endorsement of community pages.

Do you believe that someone's first thought would be to look at some centralized index, or at the project's home page? What if the contributors list on each project were similarly (and optionally) instrumented as proposed by Sam Ruby's suggestion (above)? Or is that an infrastructure question, along with IM and Wiki topics? --- Noel
