Where it becomes useful is for sites that are no longer under active development; those sites can set it to false, and tools can in turn remove them from their listings or mark them as inactive or whatever they want.\r\n\r\nIt was suggested in IRC that inactive sites just remove their contribute.json file, but I feel like it's useful, at least from a historical perspective, to have the data in a contribute.json file still available, even if the site is inactive. I also think we shouldn't attach semantic meaning to the existence or non-existence of a contribute.json file.\r\n\r\nThoughts?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mozilla/contribute.json/issues/comments/78489299","html_url":"https://github.com/mozilla/contribute.json/issues/60#issuecomment-78489299","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mozilla/contribute.json/issues/60","id":78489299,"user":{"login":"peterbe","id":26739,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/26739?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe","html_url":"https://github.com/peterbe","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/peterbe/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-12T14:26:38Z","updated_at":"2015-03-12T14:26:38Z","body":"What I'm suggesting is that we stealthily pick a key:value to indicate that it's dead. \r\nBut because it's so contradictory to the purpose and goal of contribute.json I suggest we don't bother mentioning this key:value as an optional field in the JSON schema. \r\n\r\n@Osmose I think the reason you stumbled into this issue at all was because you're trying to cross of a certain number of sites off your todo list independent of their status. Just because they were listed as Mozilla projects. How many of those do you have? Do we have sufficient information about them (irc contacts, docs, etc) considering that they're defunct?"}}
