TL;DR - Archive the Fineract-CN (cloud native) repos? This is a call for discussion, not for a vote. I will call for a binding VOTE in one week.
HISTORY The Apache Fineract(R) Community accepted a completely new architecture about five years ago. That new concept was intended to revise and refactor Fineract into new microservices. The PMC voted to accept the code and our wiki pages and communication shifted to gather devs around the new cloud-native microservice concept. Unfortunately, until a project - or sub-project in this case - can produce a release, it does not get acceptance. There was never a release of the software. In the Apache process, this is a key requirement. In the meantime, the Apache Fineract(R) main github was significantly updated and continues to be the focus of work and refactoring. One of the main things achieved in recent months is to make Fineract "cloud native" in ways that matter. DECISIONS We took the decision in May 2023 to deprecate the content and we have done so. There may still be some outside links pointing to our site for this sub-project, but effectively, we have made it clear that this is not the focus on the Fineract Community. DISCUSS We may now want to archive the github repositories. There are 40 (forty) repos. There was an attempt in Jan 2023 to get a release out but it was not completed. The problem is that there are FORTY repos, compared to ONE for our main dev repo. We think that when we archive them, they remain available but are marked as "archive", and won't allow for write access. If you disagree, now is the time to make your opinion known. We will have a vote in a week. We are looking for any objections. If there is an objection, we can hold off for another 6 months or a year.
