Packages waiting for someone to take over
These packages have been postponed for now due to insufficient man power.
MARIE (makghosh), no upstream release for a long time, wiki page vandalized, had commits this year though (timn)
Simbad (makghosh)
Paparazzi, Open UAVs (timn)
RoboCup soccer server (timn), 2D and 3D soccer simulation servers used in RoboCup
Pending review requests
None at the moment
Packages decided not to package for now
If you want to get involved you could start investigating the code and maybe revive the upstream project! The postponed packages could be packaged later but the have a lower priority as decided by the SIG. (Probably) Won't package:
RobotFlow (makghosh), upstream looks dead for several years, probably not a good idea (timn), +1, so it goes down the list and maybe moved out if there is no further upstream (makghosh)
