Hello ComDev-ers --I'm hoping you can help.
I use https://projects.apache.org/ regularly, at least once a week,
and find this resource as a whole to be quite beneficial.
However, there are some inconsistencies: some Apache Projects are not
listed.

This seems like a good (and important) place to start. What projects are
missing? What canonical list are you comparing against? This seems like
low-hanging fruit.
I think a list of "litanies" (in a positive way), if you will, would be
a good starting point for us to progress here. What are the challenges
we are facing, and how do we best address them. I'd prefer if this was a
service by the communities for the communities, but I also acknowledge
that we've been primarily doing this 'our way', not necessarily how
projects would prefer it.
I have my own list of suggestions:
- do away with DOAP/XML, but still keep the data in VCS (yaml based data?)
- have an online editor for projects to enter in data (do away with the
weird mix of centralized decentralization)
- create a standard list of scope/language/etc categories to pick from
when describing projects, to avoid weird solo categories.
- perform more outreach once the above is done, so projects can go and
set up or edit their information in a simple, fast way.
