Similarly, it is a *requirement* that TLPs keep their DOAP files and 
other aspects of their project websites updated.  So it's a really good 
thing for podlings to get in this habit before graduation.

Separately, I'd love to hear any comments about how this kind of 
requirement is expressed in the graduation guides.  I.e. is it clear, 
even to normal humans (i.e. 99.99% of the world who are not Incubator 
experts) that these things are required of TLPs before (and after) 
graduation?
