(<b>D</b>escription <b>O</b>f <b>A</b> <b>P</b>roject).<br> Project DOAP files are created and maintained by PMCs. </p> <p> There is a <a href="doap.html">description of DOAP files</a>. This includes a link to a tool to create an initial DOAP for a project. </p> <p> Once a DOAP has been created, it should be stored in a suitable place in a PMC repo.<br> Then add the URL for the DOAP to the file <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/projects.xml">data/projects.xml</a> in SVN.<br> If using Git, please ensure the URL points to the plain DOAP file, not some HTML version. The raw link will look something like:<br> <code>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/{projectrepo}/main/doap_{project}.rdf</code> </p> <h2>How The Code Works</h2> <p>The data about Apache projects on this site is generated at least daily by cronjobs running Python scripts from various data sources. Various cronjobs check authoritative ASF data sources for updates, and then cache data needed by this website (and possibly other websites) in a variety of JSON files that are checked into a Subversion repository for safety and simplicity of backups. This site then uses JavaScript and a variety of visualization tools to dynamically display charts and listings of Apache project metadata. <ol> <li>Organizational information about Apache project <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/#who-runs-the-asf">committees</a> and <a href="https://home.apache.org/phonebook.html">people</a>,</li> <li><a href="pmc_rdf.html">PMC RDF data files</a> in the <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees">data/committees</a> directory. <br> PMCs can maintain their own data files instead: replace the the default "committees/pmc-name.rdf" entry with your URL in this file: <br> <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees.xml">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees.xml</a> </li> <li>Project DOAP files listed in <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/projects.xml">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/projects.xml</a><br/> <a href="doap.html">DOAP files</a> are maintained by the projects themselves. </li> <li>Technical details about the code are in <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/STRUCTURE.txt">STRUCTURE.txt</a> </li> </ol> <p>You can ask us questions on the <a href="mailto:dev@community.apache.org">dev@community.apache.org</a> mailing list, or <a href="https://lists.apache.org/list.html?dev@community.apache.org">read the mail archives</a> online.
