That would be awesome.

We probably want to think about how to try and slurp stuff in from META.yml
too (did I already say that upthread? if so, sorry).

It also strikes me we'll want some way to slice and dice the lists - per
project is one thing, general area lists another, etc.

There's some "human making a decision" involved in this one and we might
need to play with different layouts before we're happy, so maybe better
having this sort of stuff as tags?

(sorry, I'm trying to make sure said file can be extended later - I'd suggest
JSON though, I think, just for simplicity)
