The Dormant is a Subversion repository for Commons components that have had little recent development activity and no individual or group of individual committers has emerged to champion its ultimate promotion to Commons Proper.
If you wish to use any of these components, you must build them yourselves. It is best to assume that these components will not be released in the near future.

A Commons Dormant component may be revived to the Commons Sandbox if one or more committers are interested in picking up development of the components and working towards the promotion to Commons Proper.
A revival of a Commons Dormant component must be preceded by a VOTE on the commons developers mailing list.
