There are no rules how values should look like; guidelines and checks are required. (That's what I meant with "if used properly".) http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=PRODUCT&component=COMPONENT might work. Plus you could define custom parameters if wanted. > That looks like being too generic to be useful for us. Yes, it would require strict rules for the URI values, etc. Generic URIs are as unhelpful as empty values. > However, gerrit already comes with a meta/config ref that already > stores the project configuration as plain git configuration.

Are there projects in Gerrit that don't use bugzilla.wikimedia.org? A lot of MediaWiki extensions, I assume? In that case we're back to the problem that you need a URI value for the bugtracker. Rest is offtopic and about DOAP only: There are a few things I like about DOAP. One thing is that Apache's DOAP files also include the programming language of a project, so it's easier to redirect new contributors according to their skills. Or to store who is the maintainer of a project (in theory). Or where to find its mailing list, homepage, tarball releases, ... I like that when I want to find out how active a project is or how large its community is, apart from code repository activity only. andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
