Abandoned Project Takeover (APT)
SourceForge.net projects that are abandoned or no longer actively being developed, may potentially be taken over by another registered SourceForge.net user. You may request the opportunity to take over an existing project by providing that project's UNIX name in a support ticket.
Request processing
Log a a support ticket and include:
- The project UNIX name
- Detail if this is a request to continue the project or to do something wholly unrelated
Once received, the SourceForge.net support will contact the existing project team and work on behalf of the user seeking to achieve the takeover. If the project team agrees, we'll either adjust the project administrators accordingly, or remove the project and let the user create a new project using the UNIX name.
We give the existing project administrators 90 (ninety) days to respond to these requests. If after 90 days there is no reply to our take over request notification, we will assign the project to the requester.
