[jira] [Commented] (COMDEV-549) Template "where is everything" template file for projects
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-549?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17940424#comment-17940424 ]
Shane Curcuru commented on COMDEV-549:
--------------------------------------
I would LOVE to see this kind of recommendation and data. It would also be useful to expose it as microdata or some other machine-processable data (i.e. with various tags in the page source). But the most important thing would be having a semi-consistent way that any human coming to a project's home page could know where to find all these bits.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-549
> Project: Community Development
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Comdev
> Reporter: Rich Bowen
> Priority: Minor
>
> Create recommended template "where is everything" for projects which answers the basic questions that people have about a project. This includes:
> * What is it? (What does it do? What problem does it solve? Who is it for?)
> * Mission statement (Aspirational statement that says what's in scope and what it wants to be when it grows up)
> * Where is the code?
> * Where is the *website* source?
> * Where is the documentation?
> * Where do we communicate?
> * Who are we? (List (active?) PMC members)
> * What is the primary programming language?
> Bonus tasks:
> * Recommend a "standard" URL where this information should be displayed, so that [project].apache.org/about can be relied on to provide this information
> * Fill-in form that produces this content in a standard order, in a variety of markup formats
