| + | Currently, GrimoireLab uses its own format for describing a project, including the data sources (repositories to retrieve information from), the internal organization of the project (e.g., in subprojects), and specifics about how the data is to be presented. For this information, some standard formats already exist, that can be directly used, or used with some modifications. Among them, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOAP|DOAP]] is one of the most interesting ones, but there are many others. | ||
