Making a note of this here in case someone knows why this is, and can save me some time digging. Also, because I'm confusing myself.
There are (sometimes) several different dates floating around on projects.apache.org regarding project creation date. That is, the dates listed on https://projects.apache.org/committees.html?date and those listed in the JSON version are (sometimes) not the same. That is, let's take Stanbol: https://projects.apache.org/committees.html?date says 2012-09 https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?stanbol says 2012-09 The JSON at https://projects.apache.org/json/foundation/projects.json says: "created": "2010-12-09" The actual board minutes for this project says 19 SEP 2012 (ie 2012-09) And the doap.rdf file for the project says <created>2010-12-09</created> So, the doap file is wrong, and projects.apache.org is inconsistent. This is irritating because I'm trying to write a script that consumes the JSON and spits out tweets, but of course it's giving me incorrect results. It also implies that people are using a DOAP-generation tool, and then not checking the output for actual correctness. Or ... something. I'm not sure. Any insight would be welcomed here. Also welcomed would be someone writing a script that 1) checked whether projects' DOAP files are correct and 2) bugged projects to fix their wrong DOAP files. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
