I don't see them as adversity at all. I see them as a long-term plan
that well worth considering.

Daniel,
There is no "assuming" just do it :-)
You have a number of ComDev PMC members saying +1, and you are a PMC
member yourself. Let's have the code where we can start working on it and
let's get it to feature parity with projects.apache.org ASAP. I agree
with Rich that there is value in this already.
This is not to exclude the much broader OfBiz proposal, but it looks to me
like this solution is close to being ready to go as a replacement for
projects.apache.org and I already see some simple improvements I can make
in a coffee break at work :-)

Just as a note for the sake of truth, OFBiz has Content component

gets accepted into comdev, you needn't worry about doap files any longer,
as you will be able to edit it online instead.

I very like what I saw, kudos!

Hi folks,
I was having a conversation with Rich (Bowen) some weeks ago, and the
sentiment was that our projects page ( projects.apache.org
<http://projects.apache.org> ) could use a big overhaul. It's
outdated, not very user friendly, doesn't really compile the data
into anything useful (mostly just displays "raw" data) and it's
difficult to navigate (no search abilities, no actual overviews).
Therefore, I propose that the community development project takes
over this project from Infra, which has no interest in
continuing/maintaining it, and revamps it with both a new site design
and a new LDAP/JSON-based information system which would enable
people to edit their project details online without having to
upload/change RDF files when something happens. This would also mean
that everything could be rendered in the browser instead of relying
on daily cron jobs to compile the page, and also allow us to add some
inspiring/interesting graphical charts and overviews/timelines.
I have been working on a proposal that follows these ideas, which is
available for preview at http://projects.apache.pw/ for those
interested. Only the first two tabs in the menu currently work (and
the extensive search feature), but that is still most of what the old
site has and then some. I am pondering on moving some of the front
page stuff to the 'Timelines' tab instead, feedback is appreciated on
this.
So, comments, feedback, questions, anything is most welcome,
especially comments on whether you:
1) think comdev should be responsible for the projects directory
2) think the proposal looks good/swell/nifty/whatever.
A few notes on the search feature:
- You can search for virtually anything within a project, types,
languages, descriptions, bug-trackers etc
- Try typing your committer ID or Apache ID into the box, and it will
show all projects you are a part of
If there is consensus for moving this into comdev framework and
collaborating on this, I will commit the proposal to a sub-folder in
the comdev svn repository and ask infra for a VM where we can set
this up.
With regards,
Daniel.
