[SOLVED] Dragora marked as 'dormant' on distrowatch

Dear All
How could they have come to such a conclusion? On what basis do they mark a distro as 'dormant'? Anybody here aware?

The only attention I pay to Distrowatch is to listen to the Sunday Morning Linux Review's bit about Distrowatch's rankings in their podcast. Nevertheless, I must say that this is really a question for Distrowatch.

If they have a page explaining why they designate a distro as dormant, I must say after a quick tour of their site it's not readily available. My best guess is that it's related to version and update release frequency, but that guess is only because nothing else makes sense.

It could be due to the fact they've gone for about 2+ years without an update or notice.

DistroWatch has no clear policy about the status: active, dormant.

In these seven years of existence of Dragora -- the project is always active in one way or another.

Anyway, I am using it on a desktop, so it cannot be dormant, at least for me. Let us see after Dragora 3 is released, the status may change
