Is there a metadata standard for tagging software releases, so that sites like the Free Software Directory ( directory.fsf.org ) can automatically list the latest release without human maintainers having to constantly check for new releases? Could this be part of the #ForgeFed spec?
@ptman #FreeCode has been an unmaintained archive since the name change from #FreshMeat in 2014. The active replacement is #FreshCode.club, see:

Good question though. That page mentions:
* JSON-based database exchange feeds and defining releases.json.
* Automated release updates from VCS systems and project websites.
... which could be the answer to both our questions.
