PloneSoftwareCenter DOAP

["Simone Deponti" <shywolf9982 gmail com>]

Hello all,

this thread will be dedicated to the development and deployment of a modified version of PloneSoftwareCenter in order to support specific GNOME requirements (namely, DOAP).

Proposal:

* The development of the product modification will take place inside the wgo svn. Then, if some of the changes are seen as useful by the team overseeing PloneSoftwareCenter they can merge it upstream in their code (alternate solution: branch PloneSoftwareCenter in the collective, which offers an advantage in term of keeping in sync with the main release, but the drawback of having to use multiple accesses).

* Checkout PloneSoftwareCenter from svn, all its dependencies from svn, and commit them onto lafarga svn. I've decided to go with the bleeding edge in the hope that our changes would be quick to integrate in the next stable release.

* Implement a single template DOAP.pt, that will be accessible from <product url>/DOAP that becomes the "feed"

* The workflow of PloneSoftwareCenter currently is the following:
   - Project maintainer registers
   - Project maintainer adds project
   - Reviewer publishes it (the project is not visible if not approved)
   - Reviewer can close the software repository in order to stop submissions
   - Project maintainer can add roadmap, releases, etc. This remains under the strict control of the project maintainer.
   (and a question raises here... where does the Marketing Team breaks in? They should be able to edit the projects, published or not?)
   except this, i think it suits our needs.

If everyone is okay, I can upload on the svn the following things:
PloneSoftwareCenter (svn)
ArchAddOn (svn)
ExternalStorage (svn)
DataGridField (svn)
AddRemoveWidget (svn)

And then try to crank out a DOAP.pt that renders the info currently collected by the product "as-is" in doap format.

Greetings,
