The proposal was attempting to come up with a method to automatically link to a package and description file from the download webpage. I have no problem targeting http://openfabrics.org/downloads as long as we come up with a way for the webpage to correlate a description with a package without hand coding the links everytime. We need to come up with a method for automatic links to keep our download webpage updated and complete.

What if we add a directory for each project under downloads and provide a README for a description? Other suggestions?

Here is a stab at what we have today for discussion purposes:

Linux  Libraries:
- libibverbs -http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/ - librdmacm - http://www.openfabrics.org/~shefty/
   - dapl  - http://www.openfabrics.org/~ardavis/
   - management -http://www.openfabrics.org/~halr/   OFED Linux:
- OFED 1.2 release - http://www.openfabrics.org/builds/ofed-1.2/release/OFED-1.2.tgz - OFED 1.2 binary RPMs for SLES 9.0, SLES 10 SP1, RHEL 4.0 U5 and RHEL 5.0 http://www.openfabrics.org/builds/ofed-1.2/release/OFED-1.2-RPMS/ - OFED connectx release - _http://www.openfabrics.org/builds/connectx/release/_
OFED Linux Archives:
- SLES 10 OFED 1.0 RPMS - http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/ - OFED 1.1 release - https://svn.openfabrics.org/svn/openib/gen2/branches/1.1/ofed/releases/ - OFED 1.0 release - https://svn.openfabrics.org/svn/openib/gen2/branches/1.0/ofed/releases/
WinOF for windows:
WinOF 1.0 release - http://www.oprnfabrics.org/~ardavis/WinOF 1.0/WinOF_1-0.zip
   WinOF source - svn://openib.tc.cornell.edu
WinOF faq - https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-index.php?page=OpenIB+Windows

I would like to propose adding project directories under http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/ where appropriate and give maintainers access. For example:

http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/verbs (rdreier)
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/rdmacm (shefty)
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/dapl (ardavis)
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/management (sashak)
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/OFED (vlad) http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/WinOF (ardavis)
http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/archives (vlad) ??
etc...

Each of these would contain a README that details the contents of the directory along with WEB_README that provides a short description for the webpage. Jeff could then automatically parse for directories under downloads and if it contains WEB_README add a webpage link to the directory along with the short description.

Jeff, is this possible?

comments?
