Well, sometime back Ross put the suggestion of making the DOAP plugin
use the FOAF plugin to render the FOAF info in DOAP files [1].

I would like to give a try at this, but at the moment I am exactly not
sure how this could be done! This was not in the original proposal,
but I think it would be really useful for Forrest.

Thank you very much for the revised proposal on my behalf. I will try
my best to complete it on time.
