I wonder if there is some process in Apache Foundations for projects to be depreciated/wind down
With lack of activity in OpenOffice frankly it might be best for community if those projects join forces
- cratermoon 3y ago“The Apache Attic was created in November 2008 to provide process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache project has reached its end of life.” https://attic.apache.org/ https://attic.apache.org/
- PeterZaitsev 3y agoYep. What I mean is what is the process of moving projects there ?
- mnau 3y agoThere is literally a link in the menu named "Process" OP posted. https://attic.apache.org/process.html https://attic.apache.org/process.html
- samus 3y agoEither the Project Management Commitee kicks it off, or the ASF's board does it. The fake activity in the repo is probably supposed to prevent attracting attention from the board: > When should a project move to the Attic? > Projects whose PMC are unable to muster 3 votes for a release, who have no active committers or are unable to fulfill their reporting duties to the board are all good candidates for the Attic.

- rbowen 3y agoNo, the commit activity is not to prevent attracting the attention of the board, since the board does not monitor commit activity as a metric of project health.
- samus 3y agoNo commit activity would indicate though that there are no active committees, which is one of the criteria whether a project belongs to the attic. Dunno whether that's one of the metrics or whether it is evaluated as required. However, usually people don't try to nefariously keep projects alive.
