The Past

 * Have they ever been successful?

The Present

 * Declining activity - perhaps find graph showing activity.
 * Some enthusiastic, dedicated, users (Sm8900, Philoserf (backpacking), Galendalia (DRN) + others) wishing to revive - the problem is no experienced enthusiastic users. enthusiasm, dedication are only two parts in a three part equation - mention at end the secret formula? there isn't a hard set formula for creating or reviving a successful project: a guideline though might go like this - Enthusiasm + dedication + experience = success.

What's Left and Why

 * Only a few active ones
 * perhaps ask the lead coords of Milhist, WiR, GOCE, etc. What do you think has made your project last?
 * Projects revolving around large current events can work - ex. COVID-19

The Future

 * What's replacing projects?
 * More sister projects?
 * Larger Projects expanding their reach?
 * New users only hearing of large projects?


 * There's no hard answer.
