Repository status: invest, maintain or deprecate - accordproject/techdocs GitHub Wiki
The team also spent time reviewing the existing AP technology stack and repositories and discussed their maintenance status. The team concluded that we need more focus on a smaller set of core repositories, while peripheral repositories with low maintainer/contributor participation will be deprecated and moved to the archive status.
