Ask HN: What critical open source software you use that is not well maintained? 3 points by mehdim 4y ago ↗ HN The goal is to make a list of OSS projects get public money and be recognized as "critical public infrastructure"
[–] fivelessminutes 4y ago ↗ If they're 'not maintained' there is nobody to give the 'public money' to. [–] mehdim 4y ago ↗ Updated : not "well maintained". Or not enough maintained compared to their criticity and their global use. [–] fivelessminutes 4y ago ↗ Doesn't this punish maintainers who do a good job for free, by excluding them from funding?I think you have to look one step deeper at how to deploy resources to encourage the system sustainably, not just throw money at the dead and dying.
