Re: DOAP in Advoato?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for signing up on Advogato. The underlying software, an Apache
module called mod_virgule, is making steady progress towards a lot of
the goals you're interested in. You can see my ToDo list for the
software here:

 http://rainwaterreptileranch.org/steve/sw/mod_virgule/todo.html

I've added your first request to my list.

DOAP support is already planned and would allow projects to either be
considered "native" Advogato projects, for which a DOAP file would be
generated; or they could be considered "remote" projects and the project
information drawn from a DOAP file located elsewhere. DOAP will likely
be the next major feature added, hopefully before the end of 2007.

OpenID support is planned as well, though I'm not sure whether we should
go for OpenID 2.0 support or 1.1 (or both). 

Things are moving slowly right now because I'm having to do 90% of the
work myself. I haven't had a lot of spare time due to the constraints of
my day job. I haven't figured out a way to get paid for working on
Advogato and mod_virgule yet. ;-)

-Steve
