They can be graduated from sandbox when someone takes the ownership and release a new version of them. 2) retired mean that these projects are not useful any more and have been replaced by better stuff. I think they're still useful for most of them, at least for: photo album, calendar, exo, alexa, adwords and s5. For workstream it's possible it's not useful anymore with our new message stream. Said differently retired projects means to people: don't even bother about those, they're dead and not useful any more. While sandbox means: these projects are in uncertain states but can still be useful if someone brings a little love to them. At least that's how I view the difference. Of course, these projets use the old plugin technology so we could decide that anything that uses the old plugin tech should be retired. But if we do this we need to decide this for all other projects using plugin tech too, not just these ones and there are lots of plugin projects in their own repos and in sandbox (not mentioning the several plugins that even in platform and that are not retired). We should also consider that some people may be using the photo album or calendar plugins so moving them to retired isn't a good idea IMO. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
