We're in the process of redefining the project activity lists (http://www.mozdev.org/projects/active.html) so that instead of the "Active," "Inactive," and "Abandoned" lists we have "Unstarted"/"New," "Active," and "Inactive".
The lists will be built based on a number of criteria instead of just the commits to the 'www' directory for a project - initially it will be based on any CVS activity as well as bugzilla activity. We're trying to separate out the "young" projects from the active list so it's more representative of projects being actively developed as well as dropping the "abandoned" category. When a project moves from the active list to the inactive list there will be a series of emails to give the projects a chance to stay on the active list even if they're otherwise relatively inactive (no CVS activity, no bugs worked). My question to the project owners: should the reactivation emails be sent to just the project owners, or also to a project's contributors? The email is currently planned to be sent at 21 and 7 days before the project becomes inactive, as well as when the project moves to the inactive list (3 emails total). If people think these times or the quantity of emails should be changed, let me know that as well. We should point out that other than moving from one list to another, there isn't any other repercussions of being marked "inactive." Thanks for your help and insight. -Doug
