Subject: [gentoo-project] [RFC] Aggregated status whiteboard for projects

Hi,

Right now we lack a consisted aggregated source of project status.  Some
projects report their progress via website news, some use various
mailing lists, some don't report status at all.  I'd like to propose
a new method for publishing an opt-in 'status whiteboard' for projects.

The idea is to create a special template on wiki.  The projects
interested in publishing their status would use the template to put it
on the page.  As a result, besides being published as part of project
page it would be aggregated for machine processing.

Then, we'd create a simple aggregated listing of all projects publishing
their status.

The exact data reported is unspecified.  For example, it could state
the current releases, what the project is currently working on, etc. 
The primary purpose would be to let users and developers know better
what's happening inside Gentoo.  The secondary purpose would be to
provide a quick health check.

What do you think?

Best regards,
Michał Górny
