Hi all!
Just noticed an example where SM (our categories) has been ahead of Debian, until now:

You mean Debian is ahead ? If we like to be far ahead, we need to adopt tools like RDF, DAML and OIL in order to categorize packages and people. But it might be a little cumbersome for our needs.

I meant that we have been ahead - because they seem to just have added it. And note that it comes with a considerable effort because of they not having a single model like we do. For us it is trivial to have canonical objects like the SMCategories.
In many other respects I think we are ahead - and of course in some, we are lacking. We don't have checksums or signatures. We don't have dependencies... yet. :) But we have SMAccounts, SMCategories, SMPackageReleases (which I think capture more than Debian does) etc.
tools like RDF, DAML and OIL in order to categorize packages and people. But it might be a little cumbersome for our needs.
Yes, I think it is better to look at those things - see if we can learn/borrow a thing or two and then just use clean objects. No need IMHO to mess around with complicated file formats - in this respect I FULLY agree with Craig. :)

I agree we need a model, XML files are just for exchange or store.
I just found the DOAP project. This is an XML vocabulary for project description. Look here for more information : http://usefulinc.com/doap/
