+<h4>History</h4>
+<p>During October 2005 a wide ranging discussion was <a
href="https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]:2005-10:DOAP";
target='_blank'>held on the site-dev mailing list</a> aimed at arriving at an
archictecture and tools that would allow us to create a project directory web
site. A key part of the plans, and one of the biggest stumbling blocks, was the
selection of a suitable format of information file that would be the key
part.</p>
+<p>The result of the discussion was a consensus to use <a
href="https://github.com/edumbill/doap/wiki"; target='_blank'>DOAP</a> -
"Description Of A Project" which is an RDF based format. The decision was taken
for the following reasons:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>use of an existing format was felt to be important</li>
+<li>it was becoming more commonly used and therefore had a growing base of
support</li>
+<li>being designed to be extensible, it can be easily adjusted to our
needs</li>
</ul>
