I agree to remove it too. Also, have anybody seen recently a
gnome-office release? My google suggests[1] it is abandoned too.

 If some of them are no longer maintained why we keep them to being
 translated at all? I agree to remove the category if it isn't
 meaningful, but keeping old programs is just counterproductive for
 translators.

   

How do we define no longer maintained? :)
There are already a lot of modules[2], that saw no non-translation
commits since years, where years can be 1-2-3... so, how long should
we keep modules listed as translatable?

I think we can consider a module too old to be worth translating if it
has not touched by a maintainer in the last two years - if a module
reaches this age, without even a tiny .1 maintenance release message
in configure.in, I'd say it's safe to assume that it is practically dead
and nobody would see our translations. If it gets a new maintainer, it
can be re-added of course.

Not really, but maybe a calendar view with the expected releases of

Then an RSS and/or a mail sent to this list (or coordinator teams) would
be enough to have everyone up-to-date.

Sounds good?

Well, if you want to use this to signal your team which modules to
translate, you can create a short comment that will appear on the
statistics page of your language[1]. If you want to do this globally, so
that all teams would see the same - well, open a bug :).

 Fully agree.
 
 Let's wait some days for others to give feedback and at weekend we can
 remove from l10n.gnome.org those that you mentioned.

Translation stats for GNOME modules will not be removed from
l10n.gnome.org as long as the module is in the main git repository. We
only delete them when the module is retired in the -archive repository.

However we can create an obsolete release set which lists these
non-actively maintained modules. I just created it and moved one module
in it.

I'm not thrilled at all by such an idea. Too hard to be objective.
Trolls ahead...
Of course, it could be a mean to obtain some beers from maintainers ;-)

Yes, that sound like en amazing idea. I have been thinking about
something similar. My idea was to simply have it posted on the damned
lies page. Now that ui and doc have been split out there is more than
enough space.

Apparently the Subversion^WGit repository maintainers use 1.5 years + no
reply as a criterion to archive the module. We could use that as a
threshold:

Would it be feasible to send modules to the obsolete group
