[gentoo-dev] GLEP 39 compliance

[Alec Warner <antarus@gentoo.org>]

"A project exists if it has a web page at www.g.o/proj/en/whatever that
is maintained. ("Maintained" means that the information on the page is
factually correct and not out-of-date.) If the webpage isn't maintained,
it is presumed dead."

I'm not trying to pick on any projects.  Some pages are out of date but
look ok ( like catalyst!  Thats an old page! but i know you are writing
2.0 docs soon ;)).  I'm used my own descretion in picking out projects
(including projects for which I am a member).  Very few are dead, mostly
just listing retired devs as active.

Gentoo/MIPS, your project page needs updates (last updated 2005, by the
looks of things).  Your page also lists retired developers (Ciaran).[1]

Gentoo/PPC64, you also need to update your website (last updated 2005)[2]

Gentoo/Sparc, some of your developers were retired (todd,cjr)[3]

Eselect, your project pages lists retired developers (Ciaran).[4]

GLEP - I actually e-mailed Grant a bunch of updates and I'm waiting for
those to get done ;)

Portage/Sandbox - I say we just remove this, afaik no development has
happened in a long time.[5]

Installer - I know you guys have news, post some tidbits ;)[6]

kernel/security - Your page is bare, and lists brix as a member, he
resigned months ago.  Unless you feel this page is useful to some
people, I'm not sure what good it does.[7]

Gentoo/Status - Oh the irony ;) many of the projects listed never
updated their webpages, hopefully this mail will encourage some, lest I
just cvs rm -f their project pages for lack of updates ;)  no updates
for 4 months.[8]

Gentoo/QA - You have no lead, and your pages list retired developers
(Halcy0n).[9]
