i want to make these changes but i need list of outdated projects so i can remove them @vinugawade
Hi @ArbabBhutta,
Thank you for expressing your interest in working on this task. To get the list of outdated projects, you can review the current listOfProjects.js
file in the repository. Look for projects that haven't received significant updates or are no longer actively maintained. These projects can be considered outdated and should be removed from the list.
Once you have identified the outdated projects, you can proceed with the steps mentioned in the initial issue description to make the necessary changes to the file.
On it @vinugawade

Hey @vinugawade, thank you for opening the issue.
It’s a great idea to remove inactive projects. This would help reduce the length of the project list and prevent unnecessary scrolling. It would also provide a curated list for open-source enthusiasts.
However, we can’t simply flag a repo as inactive or no longer active by only looking at significant updates such as commits or PR merges. There may be cases where some repos do not often update because the maintainer and reviewers are occupied.
I noticed that some of the projects that have been removed are actually active and constantly updated. My point is, before removing any project, we should discuss or come to a conclusion about which projects are considered outdated.
For example, we could consider criteria like:
Again, this list may not cover all aspects, but the point is that it would be great to have criteria to determine which projects are considered inactive
Hi @Esh07,
Thank you for your valuable input regarding the issue of removing inactive projects. I appreciate your points about the importance of discussing and establishing criteria for considering a project outdated before removing it.
Your suggested criteria are indeed helpful in determining whether a project should be considered inactive. Factors such as archiving the repository, lack of recent updates (within the past 6 months), unresolved critical issues or bugs, outdated documentation, compatibility with dependencies or platforms, public announcements of project discontinuation, and signs of community engagement are all crucial.
By considering and applying these criteria, we can ensure that only genuinely inactive projects are removed, while maintaining an accurate and curated list for open-source enthusiasts.
Thank you for initiating this discussion and bringing attention to this matter.
