Sebb commented on WHIMSY-118:
-----------------------------
It's also not easy to keep track of where DOAP files are located.
Even projects that maintain DOAP files generally don't remember to update
projects.xml when SVN or Git moves occur.
> Add releases cross-check between board reports and DOAP files

> Key: WHIMSY-118
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-118
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Shane Curcuru
> Priority: Minor
>
> PMC efforts to keep DOAP files (which generate a number of useful webpages)
> updated vary widely in quality and timeliness.
> One simple way to see which PMCs are updating DOAPs is to crosscheck board
> reports of release activity with that PMC's DOAP file(s). Projects that use
> the reporter.a.o tool make this easy in board reports:
> {{## Releases:
>
> - Last release was 2.4.2 on Wed Apr 15 2015 }}
> Highlighting board reported releases that aren't found in DOAP files would be
> useful at some point in the process - probably not during the meeting, but
> perhaps after the meeting in an automated, targeted email that points out the
> new releases not yet marked in DOAPs.
