I have took the time to see GoboLinux projects (in github, yay!) and I must
say it's a mess.
Anyone trying to get into the priject and taking a look will see lots of
poojects which 50% of them are really dead, so I wanted someone to add a
way to distinguish which projects are dead from that which are not, either
changing them to another account or adding them (dead) or (unmantained) in
the name of the repo so that anyone is able to see to diferentiate those
Of course, github itself will do this by showing first those with latest
commits, but it may be a good idea to make it more apparent.

I know. This is the state things were before, with loads of historical
baggage. And you haven't seen the website yet (it's even messier). I'm
working on cleaning it up _minimally_ to be able to upload it.

The ones that are "alive" are the ones that are either included in the
Gobo 015 CD or are used in the process of making the CD.

Lucas, do you have a list of which ones these are? We can then mark
the rest as "[legacy unmaintained repo]" in their description fields.

These can be marked as unmaintained:

Bootstrap
Listener
GoboBSD
CompileFarm
TinyScripts
TinyCompile
Lua-GoboLinux

All other projects are still used by the LiveCD infrastructure or can be
considered supported to some extent.
