Simal - A Project Registry Framework
Introduction
Simal is an open source tool for building project registries. Simal uses the Description of a Project (DOAP) schema to collect, store and present data about projects. Simal is available under the Apache software License V2.
The mission of the Simal project is to create a software framework for the collection and management of essential details about open development projects. Using this data it will be possible to create a picture of development projects and communities, that allows for all increased awareness of existing projects and experts to be found within.
