Status
So it's easy to tell what's going on with a project, I'll categorize statuses on the basis of two criteria:
- Completeness: stable, semistable, development, prototype, unknown
- Stable: Claims to be version 1.0, 2.0, etc.; tests appear to cover a usable subset of functionality.
- Semistable: Stable to a deprecated or old standard; can be extended to the latest standard.
- Development: Claims to be version 0.1, 0.2, etc.; large functionality missing.
- Prototype: Claims to be development, prototype or no version number; only basic functionality is in.
- Unknown: I don't understand this language well enough to tell. Please replace this if you can.
- Development: active, maintenance, dormant, inactive
- Active: Major changes in the last month.
- Maintenance: Minor changes in the last month.
- Dormant: No changes in the last month.
- Inactive: No changes in the last three months.
