[gentoo-dev] [2&3]/3 API & files

Here's a partial list of the ones I know about:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/treecleaners/maintainer-needed.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors3.xml
Both of these are broken I think:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/outdated-cpan-packages.xml
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/outdated-cpan-packages-perl-experimental.xml

- Do you know of more?
- How can we better encourage these to move to an API site?
- Some of these are meant for human consumption, others are meant for
  tool consumption, should be differentiate?

> Image resources:
> These can be uploaded to the Wiki.
How can we ensure later that the media files don't get deleted?

> Other files and downloads:
> Until proper project file hosting is implemented, again a simple
> git-backed static site, possibly projects.gentoo.org.
Please don't put lots of binary files in Git.
