9 I think the projects doing major things is the exception, rather than
10 the rule. That being said, there's nothing stopping you (or anyone)
11 from doing a page like this now, without needing to extend the
12 projectxml, at all. All someone needs to do is create it. After all,
13 why should we:
14
15 - extend the xml
16 - have everyone edit their own project pages
17 - create some parser that has to troll all of the project pages to
18 create a single page
19 - maintain said parser
20
21 when we could simply have a single page for everybody to edit with the
22 given information?
