I’m looking forward to trying out the Foundation Portal.
Regarding Phoenix, I mostly want to know when the project-info.xml
file changes.

Doug,
Here's a four part answer:
- We don't have a good mechanism for notification
right now so we try very hard to avoid changing anything.
- When we do change something, I've been trying
very hard to remain very backward compatible so that projects do not need
to change their info files/websites unless they want to take advantage of
new features.
- We are (slowly) working on a better system that
will be based on the MyFoundation
portal and the portal will handle notifying project leads about
out-of-date and out-of-spec project-info items.
- On the issue of the parallel IP process and
incubation graphic, Janet sent email to each of the PMCs (e.g. DSDP),
and Mike
blogged about it, but I can see that we (I'll take the blame) in those
posts about what it meant to be "compliant". I apologize for not
including the
text about compliant incubation websites in that email.
My goal is to keep the "process overhead" for
being part of Eclipse as low as possible and thus you shouldn't have to read
dash-dev nor phoenix-dev (you may if you want to).

Anne / Bjorn: is there a notification mechanism for when
Phoenix / Dash guidelines change? Some of us are trying hard to keep our
websites phoenix-complaint, and I’d like to know when new requirements come
up. I’d also like to know when the project-info stuff changes. I
read dash-dev, but not phoenix-dev. Recommendations?
