See my other reply to Sebb in this thread.
Having "something" which shows the current state of the component easily is already a good first step in my opinion. But I still think we need then to decide to move a component to another section or mark them otherwise as not active. It looks pretty bad if a user surfes the components and every second seems to be dead. Anyway... I just found this: commons-compress$ svn --xml -v log Returns a bunch of cool information. parsing this logfile might be enough already to aggregate. Perhaps a repos at labs.a.o might be a good place to start with that Cheers Christian > > Thank you, > Gary > >> >> Cheers >> Christian >> >>> >>> Gary >>> >>> On Jan 9, 2012, at 6:59, Christian Grobmeier <grobme...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Hello, >>>> >>>> Jelly did not see any activity for nearly two years: >>>> http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/ASF/search?path=%2Fcommons%2Fproper%2Fjelly >>>> >>>> Last release was in 01.2010. >>>> >>>> We had already discussion on a process to move proper components into >>>> another state, be it "dormant" or "inactive".
