Suggested email to PMCs. Tear it apart :)
*****
Announcing the availability of the Apache Attic. As you may know, the
ASF has been
kicking around the idea of a location for inactive projects for a
while. In November the
board voted to create such a project and we've just pushed out our
informational website:
http://attic.apache.org/
A critical part from the site is our example suggestions as to when a
project should move to the Attic:
"Projects whose PMC are unable to muster 3 votes for a release, who
have no active
committers or are unable to fulfill their reporting duties to the
board are all good candidates
for the Attic. "
It can be a tough decision to take for a project in that situation to
go to the next logical step -
the aim of the Attic is for a project to know that there is now a
graceful way to say Goodnight.
Please get acquainted with the Attic and consider whether you are
involved in a project
that might want to discuss this option.
Hen
Apache Attic, VP
