For data from late 2012 for all projects in GNOME Git not being archived, see section 5.1.2.2 on p. 36 (number at the bottom) of http://home.arcor.de/ak-47/FOSS-lack-of-maintainership/FOSS-lack-of-maintainership.pdf At that time, exactly one third of the unarchived projects in GNOME Git had not seen any commit within the last two years (excluding changes in the /po translation subfolders). I cannot offer newer numbers. andre -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ engagement-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/engagement-list
