there is a question of nice communication/marketing vs strict accuracy and always this "project" term that is unclear (as in https://www.apache.org/#projects-list )
in index page: - 2 top graphs being about committees are accurate, or there is a bug to be fixed - 2 bottom graphs are more based on projects declarations, then known incomplete = where we need to drive interest for improvement On the bottom graphs, reading "click on a language to view all projects using it" is definitively misleading: I'll replace with "click on a language to view declared projects using it" perhaps there are other improvement ideas, less aggressive to casual user than copying message from https://projects.apache.org/projects.html to index.html top area On 2025/06/05 09:57:35 sebb wrote: > On Thu, 5 Jun 2025 at 06:19, Herve Boutemy <hbout...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > I fully agree on the lack of completeness for projects > > => I'm convinced about the disclaimer at the beginning of > > https://projects.apache.org/projects.html > > no objection at all on it > > > > On PMCs = Committees, I don't get why you say the list may not be > > comprehensive: of course, there may be bugs, but the list of committees is > > not really done by projects, and even less by DOAP files > > Am I wrong, or are you aware of serious issue in our completeness of > > Committees? > > See https://lists.apache.org/thread/pxbrn5j6h1jrx8y0wwjxbqk8chmqflf2 > > The code currently relies on someone creating the PMC RDF files manually. > This could probably be automated, and missing entries are reported to > the site-dev!a.o list: > > https://lists.apache.org/thread/449g3ftkrzk4332qktlcqspyrt9ry4kx > > > > > The strong before difference of responsibility, accuracy and completeness > > of data between Committees and Projects is a key reason why I want to > > clarify that DOAP is key for Projects, but not for Committees > > Indeed, but the index page no longer makes it clear that project data > may be incomplete. > > "" > > > (very useful discussion) > > > > Regards, > > > > Hervé > > > > On 2025/06/04 23:42:23 sebb wrote: > > > On Thu, 5 Jun 2025 at 00:15, Herve Boutemy <hbout...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > > > > I'd love to have a PR for better discussion... > > > > > > > > I'll revert if you really feel strong about it > > > > but have this copy/pasted in 2 places is IMHO not the most efficient to > > > > help end users understand committees (foundation data) vs projects > > > > (DOAP) > > > > > > > > I just added links behind these 2 terms on the main page to foster > > > > focus: > > > > https://projects.apache.org/ > > > > > > > > Please confirm if this is ok or if you really want to revert this > > > > commit: I'm not convinced, but I'll add back the copy/paste if you > > > > really want > > > > > > As it stands, the page reads as though the site contains a > > > comprehensive list of all PMCs and projects. > > > But that is far from being the case. > > > > > > I think it is vital that the main page of the site is very clear that > > > it depends on projects providing the information, and that it is > > > optional. > > > Not only may information be missing, but it may also be out of date. > > > > > > It may be reworded, but a clear disclaimer needs to be shown so > > > readers are aware. > > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > > > Hervé > > > > > > > > On 2025/06/04 08:57:05 sebb wrote: > > > > > On Tue, 3 Jun 2025 at 22:59, <hbout...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > Author: hboutemy > > > > > > Date: Tue Jun 3 21:59:29 2025 > > > > > > New Revision: 1926099 > > > > > > > > > > > > URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1926099&view=rev > > > > > > Log: > > > > > > use no-tlp-doap category to find TLPs with no DOAP > > > > > > > > > > > > Modified: > > > > > > comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/about.html > > > > > > comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/index.html > > > > > > comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/projects.html > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > <snip> > > > > > > > > > > > Modified: comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/index.html > > > > > > URL: > > > > > > http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/index.html?rev=1926099&r1=1926098&r2=1926099&view=diff > > > > > > ============================================================================== > > > > > > --- comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/index.html (original) > > > > > > +++ comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/site/index.html Tue Jun 3 > > > > > > 21:59:29 2025 > > > > > > @@ -29,9 +29,6 @@ > > > > > > </div> > > > > > > > > > > > > <div id="contents"> > > > > > > -
