Hi.

Are there any people already actively thinking/working on the issues
relating to DP and what's produced in software forges (i.e. SourceForge,
GForge, GoogleCode, Trac, etc.), like software artefacts, bugs, mailing
lists threads, wiki pages, documents, etc. ?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: being new to the DP community, I may be asking the wrong place, or
have missed something obvious ;)

Hi Olivier,

I like this idea! I don't believe DP has looked into such issues yet
(as far as I know) but I do see the need and application for such
functionality.

Here's a start - I know that Canonical's Launchpad site has the
ability to export all the projects it hosts as RDF graphs.

Ex: https://launchpad.net/drizzle/+rdf

Take a look at the schemas being utilized there. It seems like
Launchpad rolls their own schema for encoding various properties about
the hosted project, but I can't find any documentation on it at the
moment. This may be a good place to start. Ideally, you'd be able to
move around project information in this format from system to system.

Thoughts? Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers,

Tim

Nor anything at the URL provided : https://launchpad.net/rdf/launchpad#
but it looks like https://launchpad.net/rdf/ says a bit more... although
it's a dead link too.

No luck it seems by googleing on launchpad.owl :(

If someone knows better (than : ...

Sure.

And avoid using some central (proprietary) forge like launchpad but
maybe navigation in the semantic web of projects and "project
venues" (their bugtrackers, SVN repos, download pages, etc.).

Sure.

I'm collecting links into
http://wiki.planetforge.org/index.php/Ontologies and other pages there.

Feel free to contribute.

Best regards,
