Re: Feature request: Keeping tabs on retired projects
[Try again with corrected Whimsy email]
Seems to me it might be better for Whimsy to update the following file:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/private/committers/board/committee-info.yaml
Whimsy already updates this when PMCs are created.

I've updated Whimsy to record retirements in committee-info.yaml, and
also added the current contents of retired.txt

Might make more sense to have a list of projects, and update the
status when they retire.

How about using committee-info.yaml instead?

LDAP records for projects are generally wiped when a project retires.
IF someone wanted to put some work into whimsy to maybe punt it to,
let's say ou=retired,ou=groups,dc=apache,dc=org instead, maybe we could
work with that.
But I'd be perfectly happy with the text file I have now :)

Can any of this DNS info be driven by LDAP? I'm no sysadmin, but
aren't they both distributed directory protocols essentially? I've
seen DNS-related schemas for LDAP which makes me think they can
integrate, but again, I'm no sysadmin. :)
