Mark As Inactive?

Am I wrong to view this project as inactive? According to the guide projects are generally considered inactive if the talk page has received nothing other than routine/automated announcements or unanswered queries for a year or more.

Abuluntu, I would find that a crying shame; there is plenty of Linux expertise to be had e.g. on the WP:RD, but if nobody wants to do the WikiProject I guess that's the way it will go. Elizium23 (talk) 20:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Elizium23, agree. Still the project is rather confusing to a newcomer (myself included). Maybe it could be saved by a cleanup of the project pages? – – Abuluntu ( talk 20:42, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely believe that the project must be kept active, therefore, please do not mark it as inactive. The reasons why are explained in my user talk page. - Fabio Maria De Francesco (talk) 05:48, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I was wrong to view this project as inactive. But it takes an effort to make it a hub for cooperation. The discussion seems to turn to whether it should be a project or a task force, or merged with WP:FOSS. WT:LINUX. – Abuluntu ( talk 11:17, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, marking it inactive will not be the right decision. Harsh Rathod Poke me! 04:24, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I concur, just because there is not a significant amount of activity in the talk pages themselves, does not make this project a useful place to organize around (which is how I tend to engage) Punk physicist (talk) 18:20, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

assessment

Over the past week or so I've assessed all unknown importance articles belonging to WikiProject Linux. This is to inform you all of my completion. Any of the established editors here can review and overrule any change I've made. I did this all purely because I felt like doing so. Cheers. Yousou (Complain) 03:22, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
