I posted a message to the eRCP dev list notifying them about our intention to start a termination review [1]. If it is the consensus of the RT PMC that the project is dead, then I recommend that we engage in a termination review. We don't require much in terms of documentation, just a short paragraph. Something along the lines of: "No commit activity in CVS since November 2010. No apparent committer activity on the project forum for at least two years. No dev list activity in more than a year. The project appears to have been inactive for more than two years." Combined with a list of activities that need to be undertaken. Archive the repository, downloads, web site, mailing list, forums. That sort of thing. I can help. It'd be nice if the PMC could reach out to the project (via the dev list) to see if there is any hint of life.

We should either provide an archive of the CVS repo (which I think we already do?) or create a git repo for eRCP and simply move it all there. I also think it is time to remove the CVS and SVN links from the page. Thanks Wayne.

The Git Migration Wall of Shame [1]--which is really just the project status page with filtering to show projects that list CVS repositories, but no Git repositories in their project metadata--has two entries for RT. The first is the RT top-level project itself. I think that it might be time to remove the root CVS directory from the list. The SVN root that's listed is bogus, it should also be removed. I can remove these if you'd like. Let me know. FWIW, I am planning to add functionality to these pages that will automatically roll up the Dash statistics of the subprojects; this should hopefully happen this fall. I believe that providing the roll up commit activity is the reason why the CVS and SVN repositories are listed here in the first place. The only other entry for RT is eRCP. The project appears dead to me. I think we may have already had this conversation, but I don't recall the current state (I have this sort of "it looks dead to me" discussion with a lot of projects). Is it time to terminate eRCP?
