At the moment, doapstore fetches DOAP projects from PTSW list (each
hour), put them in a triplestore, and then provide UI and SPARQL
endpoints, + plain-text search engine and interface with yubnub
command line to retrieve projects, eg, directly from firefox.

Yet, it doesn't retrieve data from other websites as PTSW (no scraping
/ crawling).
For this latest part, doapspace seems to be the ideal application to
create DOAP profile, for RAA and RubyForge as you suggest, and any
website that has project descriptions but no RDF export.

BTW, Rob, what about keeping doapspace scraping and creating RDF as
you already do (+ adding URIs as we discussed and I blogged there
[1]),and let doapstore provides the SPARQL + search fonctionnalities,
using PTSW as a bridge between both ?

Best,

Alex.
