What kind of projects does OSS Revival support?

OSS Revival focuses on revitalizing open-source projects that have significant community value but are no longer actively maintained. We aim to bring these projects back to life by fixing bugs, modernizing codebases, and ensuring long-term support. Additionally, we initiate new open-source projects that align with industry needs, security concerns, and developer interests.

How can I contribute?

You can contribute by:
- Writing code: Help fix bugs, add features, or improve efficiency.
- Reporting bugs: Identify issues and help improve project stability.
- Improving documentation & translations: Make projects more accessible to a wider audience.
- Supporting financially: Donations or sponsorships allow us to expand open-source initiatives.

Can I submit a project for revival?

Yes! If you know of an open-source project that has been abandoned but still holds value, you can submit a request for revival. We review each project based on:
- Community demand – How many users still rely on it?
- Technical feasibility – Can the project be modernized with reasonable effort?
- Security risks – Does it require critical fixes to prevent vulnerabilities?
