Description

How can we indicate to each other and to the public about the lifecycle status of a repo?

This helps people decide whether the code is current, for example, without necessarily needing to contact authors.

Some questions to address in the session:

  1. Possible states (active, just a concept, moved, etc).
  2. Making a decision (project status, time since last activity, etc).
  3. Making it clear to users (README badges, README callouts, archiving).
  4. Recognising that things change, man.

Feel free to add more ideas/questions below.
