Hi,

Is there a list of modules that are currently not maintained that needs to be maintained?

I am starting to understand Drupal coding and modules a lot better now and would like to take on some of the modules without maintainers now. Can anybody point me to such a list? Or at least have an indication of how I can determine whether a module is maintained or not?

Regards,

Kobus

no such list that i know of ... i think a sensible way to track this is to assign all unmaintained projects to a single user called 'unmaintained'. i just registered that user. then a custom php page could show these projects in a table. maybe you could write the PHP for such a page and gather up the list of modules. I can perform the edits to projects on drupal.org if you don't have edit permission.

or someone else will volunteer for this task?

We can jumpstart this by creating a list: - Modules belonging to authors who have not logged in in $DAYS/YEAR - Modules that were not moved from Drupal $RELEASE 4.6. - Modules with the last commit on $DATE, and hence would not work in 4.7 for sure. - Incorporating download statistics and see those that have less download than an average or those in the Nth percentile (I guess Dries/Steven's help is needed here) - Have a taxonomy term called unmaintained or abandoned or orphaned, and assign those projects to them Then we can update this page http://drupal.org/node/22572, or have a PHP snippet that would list orphaned projects, and a blurb that says you can claim any project from this list if you are interested in taking it over.
