Dear Jani,
It’s very great for me to read this email when I come to work this
morning. Thx for your kind respond.
I ve learned a lot about attic, yet I wonder if there is a statistical
report about the reason for ritired project in ASF, maybe the failure reason
for those projects is much more valuable for me
Looking forward to your kind reply, thx~
regards

主题: Re: about retired projects in apache software foundation
Welcome.
if you look at https://attic.apache.org/ you will see when a project should go
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."
The board is likely to intervine with these project should they not suggest
moving to the attic. The board will see if revival is possible (clearly
preferred)
A project that does not/cannot make relevant security patches is also a likely
candidate.
Once a project is in the attic it is "readonly" and cannot be changed, however
it can anytime be forked into a new project (theoretically it can leave the
attic, should a renewed interest appear, however I do not think this have ever
happened).
I hope it answers your questions otherwise please ask. Language is not a
barrier many of us are not native english speakers (I am danish but live in
spain)
