[LUG] The sustainability of open source project development

 

Doing a quick audit of FLOSS that would be useful to Schools and in
particular looking at school focused software portals like SchoolForge,
its disappointing to see that a lot of the listed projects have not been
updated in at least a year some a lot longer. Also a number of broken
links on these sites are not impressive. It is inevitable that projects
will fall by the wayside, but sadly this does not help to promote the
open source cause.

What if anything can be done?

Tom.
