It could be useful to start listing such projects under an \"Inactive\" or \"Dormant\" section. They often have great ideas and are worth investigating, but it's also disappointing to then discover that investing time in the project is not really an option without an active developer community."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/redecentralize/alternative-internet/issues/comments/120717912","html_url":"https://github.com/redecentralize/alternative-internet/issues/187#issuecomment-120717912","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/redecentralize/alternative-internet/issues/187","id":120717912,"user":{"login":"anaqreon","id":3857026,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3857026?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon","html_url":"https://github.com/anaqreon","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/anaqreon/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-07-12T12:29:10Z","updated_at":"2015-07-12T12:29:10Z","body":"I agree. I used the GitHub repo status as one of several possible indicators. I'm assuming that there is some level of diligence here, because we typically don't *want* projects to be inactive.\r\n\r\nAs an example, consider Avatar (avatar.ai). The website is rich with detailed graphics and information, and it's an exciting project. Then you get to the contact page and see that the discussion links (https://discussions.avatar.ai/user/marko-poloj%C3%A4rvi) lead you to an Nginx error. I remember when these led you to a discussion forum of some kind. The Twitter link reveals an account whose last post was on 2015/03/15, while founder Marko Polojärvi and André Staltz have been tweeting frequently and continuously on their personal feeds. This is the kind of project I would list as inactive.\r\n\r\nI suppose it would be even better to actually learn from the developers if the project is officially dead or dormant. Given the effort it takes to check a few links and such to determine the apparent status, sending a message to the listed project contacts would be even better, but shouldn't be required in order to confidently place a project in the inactive category.
