HI Andrea,
We need to fill out a project DOAP file in order to be listed on www.apache.org
on the bottom left.
Regards,
Dave

DOAP files are required for all TLPs, per the Branding policy:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs
DOAP files are used to autogenerate the projects listing site:
http://projects.apache.org/indexes.html
DOAP files are the best way we have currently to ensure we have a single,
simple and machine-parseable list of all software projects available at the
ASF. We currently under-utilize this: it would be nice if projects had more
detailed DOAPs that we could entice people to create interesting
visualizations of all Apache projects. It should also be linked to more, so
that newcomers to the ASF have an easier way to find all the different
software technologies that Apache projects have to offer to the world.
From the brand perspective, DOAPs are required so the ASF can track all
formal TLP projects and major software products that our projects ship (among
other reasons, so we can one day auto-generate our list of trademarks).
DOAPs should also have sufficient information about software downloads
available so that if someone does write a crawler to inspect software
products, they'll get useful information.
It would be nice if projects kept DOAPs up to date with all new releases,
etc., but I personally don't have the effort available in the near future to
push on that area. What's more important is ensuring all TLPs have at least
a basic DOAP that's checked in and reflected at projects.a.o
We really need to explain this more clearly in the incubator docs, and make
it clear that having a DOAP checked in is part of the branding checklist that
is required to complete before graduation. I.e., we should ensure that
podlings meet the Project Branding Requirements before they go to graduate.

Hi,
Onami is not listed below, but we have a Doap file (which needs some
maintenance :-)
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/onami/committers/doap_Onami.rdf
Three questions, because I am not so familiar with Doap files.
1) do we have to add them manually to:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/files.xml
2) On onami we maintain several independent components. Should we
maintain different doap files (one for each component), like it seems
to be done by Commons?
3) Should the doap file become part of the release?
thanks!

Hi there.
In the process of cleaning up photark, I noticed that very few
incubating projects have DOAP files.
That is, I looked at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site-tools/trunk/projects/files.xml.
If that page is stale and DOAP-i-ness happens elsewhere, someone
please fill me in and excuse this noise.
