I'm mostly now at http://www.theveniceproject.com/ and that's eating my
time. Sorry not to have replied earlier Ivan.

no plans as such, actually I was surprised it was still up... :-)

Feel free to duplicate / take the data (which isn't mine anyway) and do it
better.

I don't have much to say - it was very easy to set up the software, and it
worked perfectly well, except that DOAP's use of urls for classification
made facets based on that unweildy to render and dates really need to be
date ranges - something that a sparql-based version of SWED would perhaps
solve.

Editorisalised lists of software and projects are very boring to maintain,
which is why I think the DOAP-based approach is a good one.

all the best
