[SITE] Champion identification in podlings.xml and website

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

As people may have seen, I added a <champion> entry to podlings.xml.
In the case of current podlings only, the entry is listed in the
sponsor column under the sponsor name.

The entries were extracted from the podling status files that listed
their champion (not all do), and hopefully gradually completed by
working back through the podling acceptance mails.

As is currently being discussed elsewhere - please don't bring that
discussion here - the proposal is to extend the Champion role into the
incubation phase.

Assuming this goes ahead in some form:

Do we want to list both the initial champion (prior to acceptance) and
the current champion (during incubation; may be the same)?

Or should we just list the current (incubation) champion?

Seems to me it would be useful during the transition period to list
the initial champions.
As the incubation champions are established (by continuation or
election), the <champion> entry could be updated to show that it is
current, and the display could be changed.
[Perhaps use italic for initial champion, normal font for podling
current champion]

Thoughts?

On the website, or in podlings.xml?

It might be useful to have the initial champions listed in
podlings.xml to make it easier during the transition process; the
display could be suppressed by means of an "active" flag or similar.

Yes, not sure how easy those are to find.
I did suggest adding links to them (e.g. in the startdate column) but
I've not done that yet.

I was thinking maybe of doing the two at once - find the proposal and
add the link and initial champion to podlings.xml

I'd list just the current one to avoid confusion.

The initial champion is listed in the podlings's proposal.
