How to contribute
There are several possibilities how you can contribute to Unmaintained Free Software:
Adopt an unmaintained project
The most important thing you can do is to adopt an unmaintained project. If you are interested in any project listed on this site, go ahead, adopt it!
Add a project
You can add a new project to the Index.
Especially authors of projects who cannot maintain their project anymore are encouraged to submit an entry so that potential new maintainers know that you seek a new maintainer for the project.
And please don’t forget to send an announce, if you found a new maintainer. This will allow people who are interested in contributing to the respective project to contact the new maintainer.
Update a project
You can update the information about a project by selecting the Update-link in the upper-right corner of the project’s box.
You are encouraged to update projects which have a new maintainer or have become unmaintained recently, as well as projects where you find wrong or outdated information, e.g. homepage, email contact, license etc…
