Dear members,
I hope you are doing all fine.
TL;DR: Can we present XMPP Project donation information at
xmpp.org per
software listed? (which involes updating the DOAP XEP [1])
As you know we are having a great success since we started publishing
XMPP software and project information via the .doap files at
xmpp.org.
It not just allowed to improve the visualization but helped even build
new tools for comparison of the capabilities behind each software, such
as the XMPP Software Comparison [2]. Many thanks to Daniel Brötzmann in
that regard!
For a while there is the idea out to also support the projects by
presenting a direct reference to their donation information and beyond.
It would hopefully help projects run by volunteers to generate a bit
more attention to their background and also to give something back.
Of course, there can be more ideas on what other things we can do, too.
This should be a discussion if such a promotion of donation information
is okay to do. It should not be not about the DOAP standard. That we can
take in a different fora. (But yes, it would require an update of the XEP.)
Best regards,
Eddie
