I was all for closing contrib too, but if we change the focus from \"projects that are supposed to be maintained to a decent level and in sync with the latest core\" to just \"projects maintained by the community, and maybe not all that maintained even\" then it definitely has more of a use. It could be a place people can send their projects when they're useful to \"the community\" but they no longer want to mantain them too.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, a graveyard of variable quality dead projects is probably not ideal either..."}}
