i think that we need to start breaking the legal and formal organisation
from the ontological. all the components in the various commons across
apache are similar in many ways. users should really need to care which
particular committee is charged with oversight.

i think that DOAP can help. the germ's there but it's going to need a
lot richer system of categorisation. the output generated by
projects.apache.org needs some styling but that should be easy enough to
do. 

how about introducing a suitable category and forwarding to that
category?

i like administration being decentralised: any suitable component in any
apache project could join just by declaring the category in the DOAP.
