Creating visual indicator for active organizations and repos

[smsada]

Overview

We need to have a way to know and indicate when organizations and their repos are still active on the contributors and (secondarily the search page), so that people looking can find active projects and organizations to interact with.

Description

• Lots of brigades are no longer in business that are on in our database
  • Some of these brigades have repos that have not been updated while others still update
    • Repository being actively updated with new or iterating features
    • Repository being updated primarily or all by bots
• This influences the decision on how to display them on the “Contributors page”

Action Items

• Need to have a way to note when something is inactive (potential source but they may be unreliable), see if they have de-listed older brigades from the site as we still want de-listed organizations who have a repo to be listed on CTI
  • Confirm if CFA delists inactive organizations from their website
    • Yes, they are delisted and the most up to date list is available here in this spreadsheet
• Make new logos or indicators Create and Implement identifier that differentiate between active and inactive organizations #1076
• Make an issue for creating a usability research plan prior to sending to development
  • Make sure these indicators are inoffensive to the organizations
• Recruit Research Lead Team Recruitment efforts #869
