@nodiscc there are a lot of unmaintained projects to tackle!

[nodiscc]

Nice work. What should we do with these projects? I use a few of them (chyrp, ttrss-mobile, OpenSondage...) and they are working fine. Development inactivity might be due to the fact that they have reached maturity and only need a few fixes every so often. Some projects are really simple (eg. 20euros) and also do not need constant development/maintenance.

[nodiscc]

I have ticked projects that I think should be kept in the list (simple/stable/complete, or for which there are no up-to-date alternatives, I use some of them). Anyone, please let us know if you are still using one of these programs.

A symbol could be added to low-maintenance/discontinued but working projects ☒

@Kickball @AndyR207 Or can we experiment with tuning the inactivity delay? Are you OK to share the detection script? This can help deciding what should be done with #378 (automated checks/builds in some way)

BTW OpenSondage is now https://git.framasoft.org/framasoft/framadate

Happy new year people

[Kickball]

My apologies for not getting back to you about this, the holidays have been a busy period for me.

For now what you have done works well.

I've uploaded the script to a (for now) private repo which you have been added to, we will work on the script there.

Happy new year! :)

• Pairjam seems to be abandoned. The main website is down. No active forks. No commits since 2014. I vote for removal

Kickball: Removed in #468.

[nodiscc]

• Tinyissue has an active fork at https://github.com/satrun77/tinyissue

Kickball: Updated in #467.

[nodiscc]

A symbol could be added to low-maintenance/discontinued but working projects ☒

• Is this ok?

[arylatt]

@nodiscc looks good to me.

[Kickball]

@nodiscc a symbol for non-maintained but functioning projects sounds like a good idea to me.

[nodiscc]

• [ ] Active fork of https://github.com/drichard/mindmaps -> https://github.com/nielinjie/mindmaps inactive

[nodiscc]

Work started in branch https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted/tree/rm-unmaintained-381

[Kickball]

Closing for now as we will be getting an updated list with the new system within a few weeks.

[nodiscc]

@Kickball @arylatt Any updates on the new validation system?

I will reopen this and work on removing/checking remaining projects.

[nodiscc]

https://github.com/nhoening/gritttt-rss was updated recently (Sep 2016) and looks simple enough to not require heavy maintenance

Removed in #1014

MediaCrush, Filetea, ShareFest, Jotter: development stopped, noticeable reported issues, no active forks. I will submit a patch to remove these. Pastedown: unmaintained, 71648 lines of code. Reportr: unmaintained, noticeable issues, website is down.

[nodiscc]

20euros, Cubiks-2048: unmaintained but simple enough to be kept

OpenEats: apparently maintained fork https://github.com/RyanNoelk/OpenEats

[nodiscc]

• https://github.com/thibaud-rohmer/PhotoLight is simple enough to be kept and has no reported major issues (single-file PHP app)
• https://github.com/AliasIO/Shot.io development stopped in 2014, README still states "work in progress", homepage down, domain changed owner. -> Remove
• Kyela: currently maintained
• Readityourself: currently broken, unmaintained (2014) -> Remove
• Scotty: unmaintained, complex code (java), security component -> Remove
• OranjeProxy: seems to work in most cases, simple codebase (704 lines of PHP)

[nodiscc]

https://github.com/haldean/docstore/: client-side javascript only, dependencies in libs/ are outdated but could be easily updated (npm/git submodules) -> Keep it? Ping @haldean is docstore still in a working state? What can be done about out-of-date dependencies?

https://github.com/infews/bulldog/: client-side javascript only, but requires building it from source + dependencies are outdated + travis tests currently fail -> Remove? (though there is an old release of a static single-file HTML version on the Releases page) @infews is bulldog still in a working state? What can be done about out-of-date dependencies?

[nodiscc]

https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/tasks.php: simple codebase, no major issues -> Keep (see #969)

https://github.com/bkeepers/gaskit/: unmaintained since 2012, 614 lines of ruby, 239 lines of custom Javascript. Dependencies (spine, handlebars, jquery) are highly outdated -> Remove it from the list? @bkeepers is gaskit still in a working state? What can be done to update dependencies?

[nodiscc]

https://github.com/ldleman/blazekiss: 1000 lines of PHP, seems to work as expected -> Keep it in the list

https://github.com/fredoliveira/commonplace: 280 lines of ruby, dependencies can be updated through bundle install -> Keep it in the list (homepage is down though)

[haldean]

re: haldean/docstore: It is still very much in a usable state, but I consider it "done" and have no plans to update it. Due to what appears to be some interest (to be honest, I have no idea what this thread is) I just added a BSD license; if people feel a need to update the libraries in it or fork it they're more than welcome to.

[bkeepers]

@bkeepers is gaskit still in a working state? What can be done to update dependencies?

I don't know. I am not working on it and do not know anyone using it in production.

[nodiscc]

Thanks @haldean @bkeepers for your replies

Apologies for the random @-mention, this issue is about removing unmaintained projects from https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted (take a look if you have time, hope you will find it useful).

^{by the way docstore was removed in 0e7238a due to missing license/no reply; but since I used/liked it back in the day and you stated it is functional and can be considered complete I will re add it}
