Well, there is code and I'm trying to figure out how to handle some of the more exotic aspects of my ideas to allow remote and indiscriminate posting to be handled... If you have other ideas we'd love to hear them. One aspect I want to look at is tying in the DOAP files with the generated ATOM so that we have all the nice things like project names and so on all included. I'd like to have some time, but for some reason having more time off (and recent events) has meant I have less time/inclination to work on this... If projects used the projects.a.o/PMC files fully we'd also have the name and email of the person to send reminders to. > > Hmm, although obviously we have to have the data visibility religion > arguments (are visible statistics good, or will they destroy all fun in > the galaxy), then we have to have the programming language religion > arguments (python is cool, sure, but any perl code created after 2006 > should be wiped, and then... If you actually believe that then f**king rewrite the thing in python. Jeez.
