The Community Development committee (ComDev) maintains a website projects.apache.org which lists all ASF projects, and some basic details about them. These details are derived from DOAP (Description Of A Project) file that is maintained by each PMC.

This file is also referenced elsewhere, when such data is needed. When it's missing, the information can sometimes be sourced from other places, but sometimes this will result in your project being missing from various lists. For example, the listing of projects by category, or by programming language (https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?language) does not list your project, and thus you will not be discoverable by people looking for a project to get involved in.
