| <h1>About This Website</h1> |
| <p> |
| This website is maintained by the |
| <span itemscope itemprop="author" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization"> |
| <span itemprop="name"><a itemprop="url" href="http://community.apache.org/">Apache Community Development PMC</a></span> who works on the |
| <span itemprop="email">dev@community.apache.org</span> |
| <span itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ContactPage"><a itemprop="url" href="https://community.apache.org/lists.html">archived mailing list</a></span>. |
| </span> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The primary content for this website is in static HTML, and uses a variety of cronjobs, JavaScript, and other tools to dynamically display the data. |
| <br/> |
| The underlying sources are stored in a Subversion repository at: <pre itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/SoftwareSourceCode" style="border:1px solid #999; padding: 12px; margin: 1em 7px 1em 7px;">svn co <a itemprop="codeRepository" href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/</a></pre> |
| <br/> |
| Changes checked into the HTML are reflected immediately on the production server. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>How The Code Works</h2> |
| <p>The data about Apache projects on this site is generated at least daily by cronjobs running Python scripts from various data sources. |
| Various cronjobs check authoritative ASF data sources for updates, and then cache data needed by this website (and possibly other websites) in |
| a variety of JSON files that are checked into a Subversion repository for safety and simplicity of backups. |
| This site then uses JavaScript and a variety of visualization tools to dynamically display charts and listings of Apache project metadata. |
| <ol> |
| <li>Organizational information about Apache project <a href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/#who-runs-the-asf">committees</a> and <a href="http://home.apache.org/phonebook.html">people</a>,</li> |
| <li><a href="pmc_rdf.html">PMC RDF data files</a> in the <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees">data/committees</a> directory. |
| <br> |
| PMCs can maintain their own data files instead: replace the the default "committees/pmc-name.rdf" entry with your URL in this file: |
| <br> |
| <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees.xml">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/committees.xml</a> |
| </li> |
| <li>Project DOAP files listed in <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/projects.xml">https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/data/projects.xml</a><br/> |
| DOAP files are maintained by the projects themselves, |
| with <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/Apache+Projects+Directory">How-To Guidelines in the wiki</a>. |

| <li>Technical details about the code are in <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/trunk/STRUCTURE.txt">STRUCTURE.txt |
