Hi Andras,

the quintessence of he proposal would be that a project will at 99,9% or
more wouldn't get out of the attic state inside the TDF resources. The
barriers to de-attic a project and make it an active project inside TDF
are much higher than setting up / starting a new project.
That is true. On the other hand: is it reasonable to compare a new
project with one that is in attic state?
For a new project - and I think TDF will adopt projects all too swift
- you create a stage so that there is a place to grow, prove oneself.
When a project has been paused at some moment, that will not have been
done without thinking, consideration, extra efforts to avoid etc. as
well.
So based on this, one not make conclusions on the current proposal by
'comparing' the cases.
For me the clear demands in the proposal are to prevent a situation
where projects restart without a good change on success, which is IMO
quite relevant for TDF's good name.
and with the proposal the Android Viewer had to be put the attic and
wouldn't currently get the chance to get out of this state (because only
one developer looking for it).
I created two projects for TDF infra in 2011 (and two further in 2012
and 2013). If you'd ask for the same commitment to start / run this
projects as for de-attic a project, this projects wouldn't have been
supported / used by TDF.
Thus I'm happy that never used TDF resources for the source code of my
projects and could fork and further develop this projects without
explicit permission of TDF.
I don't think the attic proposal will help TDF to save it's reputation.
It's a clear statement of setting further barriers to volunteer work.
Regards,
Andreas
