Pico (theme) has been archived #420

Closed SamGreenwood1 closed 6 months ago

SamGreenwood1 commented 6 months ago

Should it be removed since it's not being supported anymore?

hugo-sid commented 6 months ago

Hello @SamGreenwood1,

From the readme:

According to our current policy, themes that have not been updated within the last 3 years are deemed outdated and are removed.

The Pico theme was updated around 8 months ago (as of March 2024).

So, we will not remove the Pico theme from our side, even though it has been archived.

Nevertheless, you have raised a valid point. We should improve our policies and explore alternative approaches to deal with archived themes.

Thank you.

@hugo-sid My view is that, if the project has been archived, it should be removed. Hugo moves fast; lack of maintenance just creates user headaches, and consequently, noise and headaches for us.

With a theme that has not been updated in a few months, the author's intent is unclear.

With a theme that has been archived, the author's intent is very clear (i.e., I am not maintaining this anymore).

Thanks for sharing your views @jmooring.

Your concerns are very much valid. Keeping archived theme, adds a lot of maintenance overhead.

I have seen few themes other than the Pico theme which have been archived. I will change the policy on README and remove such themes.
