<h1>Archived Phase</h1>
<p><i>version 016 - July 29, 2005</i></p>

<h2>Archived Phase</h2>

<p> Projects that reach their natural conclusion, or that become inactive
through dwindling resources, are archived. Projects
    can reach their natural conclusion by, for example, becoming so popular that
    they are absorbed into one of the underlying platform frameworks.</p>

<p>Projects are archived as follows:</p>
<ul>
  <li>The project leaders write a short description of the project, its goals,
    its accomplishments, and (if any) the remaining work.</li>
  <li>The mailing lists, newsgroups, website, and complete CVS repository are
    stored in an archive (a zip or tar.gz) on the eclipse.org servers.</li>
  <li>The mailing lists are disabled but the archives are retained.</li>
  <li>The newsgroups are removed but the archive are retained.</li>
  <li>The CVS repository is removed.</li>
  <li>All but the last download is removed from the website.</li>
  <li>The project website is replaced with a single page describing the archived
    status of the project and contain links to the archive zip and the final
    download. The page explains that members are welcome to return the project
    to active status - at which point the archive zip would be used to restore
    the state.</li>
  <li>The project is removed from the main links of its hosting PMC and placed
    on a separate archived projects page.</li>
</ul>
<p>Archiving is not a value judgment of the project; rather, an archived project
is one that has reached its natural conclusion. No project lasts forever and
there is a natural ebb and flow to technology. Projects that are less actively
maintained are more likely to end in the archived state, but projects that are
highly successful also end up being archived after being absorbed into the
mainstream of an existing top-level project.</p>
