Summary: OWASP has a ton of projects which are very fragmented across both org repos and random github repos. Each project performs it's own tasks but there's no centralized way of finding what each project does and how it connects to the rest. This can be solved by adding a small metadata file to each project root. Then we can use Github's api to either search for specific strings in the metadata files or, grab the metadata files from the owasp org and statically map owasp projects not under the org. From there a script can extract metadata and populate a template with:

This allows central presentation of all owasp projects and ease of finding new ones.

Metadata file format TBD.
