- 13. ASF and OpenSE Processes » RSS feed publishes projects onto OpenSE site » Currently just a list of one line links, organise into categories » Categories can be fed through from ASF site build-management mail content network-client database network-server graphics regexp http testing httpd-module virtual-machine javaee web-framework library xml » Categories top level projects name and description description of mentored projects available within those TLPs 13
