DOAP should point to the mailing list (default to d-d-l). One key point behind the Gnome infrastructure, is consistency. I really to like http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/ , http://live.gnome.org, http://library.gnome.org/, http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/, etc. consistency. Wouldn't it be nice to have something similar for e.g. projects.gnome.org ? As usual, Gnome should make developer life easy. No need to be a guru of xhtml+css to mimic current gnome.org theme. A gnome dev is not supposed to be a web guru. Everything should be automatic and "factorized" in the gnome.org domain. Docs in library.gnome.org, wiki in live.gnome.org, download in ftp.gnome.org, sources in svn.gnome.org, etc. We need a head site over all that infrastructure pieces. kind of projects.gnome.org or even <module-name>.gnome.org. If DOAP is the way to it, then go for DOAP. Having the SVN repos as the sources of all that website is just a must have. Associated with the install-module script, this should be enough to have minimal website set up and up to date. Mango may allow to "request website" just like "request SVN repos". And aside voting for DOAP, i vote for www.gnome.org/projects genocide.
