Some the code is buried. Just checking randomly, here is one. Epp v1.9, it's not under CVS, but if you click on epp1.9 (between overview and news), you will find it. It might be worth checking the development status, and if it says something like mature or completed, it might be working a little more closer. I think they should be e-mailed rather than simply deleted, especially if it's at least beta/ready to be used level. -----Original Message----- From: cores-bounces at opencores.org [mailto:cores-bounces at opencores.org] On Behalf Of Víctor López Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 2:40 PM To: cores at opencores.org Subject: Re: [oc] Spring cleaning: List of projects that seem to be dead anddon't have any files Hard Facts: 1) There isn't any source there, just the name of a core! 2) The author created it years ago 3) Even if it took years for the creation, it is not that hard to create a new project (whenever they come back...) 4) Does anybody remember anything "they've signed up to and accessed only once" from more than a year ago? 5) I didn't know there were so many empty projects, and I think they give a wrong image of the real cores to visitors (think of somebody accessing two old empty cores in a row, what will he/she think about the rest?) and that affects the image of the opencores community. I'd say: a) Delete'em all b) Add to the project creation policy something like: "Projects with no sources for more than a year will be deleted." Good job Guenter! ----Mensaje original---- De: damjanl at opencores.org Fecha: 07/03/2007 16:52 Para: "Discussion list about free open source IP cores" cores at opencores.org> Asunto: Re: [oc] Spring cleaning: List of projects that seem to be dead and don't have any files OK. Thanks. I'll start the cleaning process. I'm thinking what is the right way: 1) Just delete the project without any notifications to the maintainer (fast and simple) 2) Email notification, then wait period X days, then delete the project (slow and painful) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Günter Dannoritzer" dannoritzer at web.de> To: "Discussion list about free open source IP cores" cores at opencores. org> Sent: Wednesday, March
