I guess I've been de-lurked.  

As Edd said, I've started to write some code that will let you embed
DOAP information in a CLR assembly. The code, which is very much a
work in progress, is in SVN at
http://svn.usefulinc.com/svn/repos/trunk/doap/creators/doap-sharp/.

The following AssemblyInfo.cs snippet contains some examples of how
the attributes will work. Note that not all of the attributes are
fully implemented yet.

[assembly: Doap.Attributes.BugDatabaseAttribute("")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.CreatedAttribute("July 23, 2004")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.HomepageAttribute("http://bornstein.atlanta.ga.us/niel/doap")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.LicenseAttribute("")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.MailingListAttribute("http://lists.usefulinc.com/mailman/listinfo/doap-interest")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.MaintainerAttribute("")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.ReleaseAttribute("unstable", "2004-07-23", "0.1")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.ScreenshotsAttribute("")]
[assembly: Doap.Attributes.ShortDescriptionAttribute("")]

There's also a DoapWriter.exe that reflects on an assembly and
produces a DOAP file with this information. It also uses the standard
.NET assembly attributes (AssemblyTitle, AssemblyDescription, etc)
where appropriate.

Any comments are welcome.
