Inactive/Dead?

[mcescalante]

Is this repo/seed project dead? I feel like the "official angular2-seed" project should either be updated, or there should be a disclaimer about how this seed may be outdated, may not work, and that users should look to angular-cli for a better "getting started experience" - either way is fine 😄 . That said, I do believe that some users like to look at a simple example without needing the CLI.

There has been no activity in 5 months, and the Angular version here is 2.x.x and is outdated like many other deps. I submitted a PR (https://github.com/angular/angular2-seed/pull/158) in early February with a number of updates. There's another PR with some structural changes and updates as well (https://github.com/angular/angular2-seed/pull/164)

I would be happy to merge or contribute to this myself if other maintainers don't have time right now! If this is considered inactive (understandable), maybe just adding a quick note to the README about that would help people in the future who come here understand.

I think this project should just be marked as unsupported and the Angular CLI should be suggested instead

I hope that it remains possible and documented and supported to make an angular app from scratch without the CLI. This would seem like a good repo to show how that is done.

I am not sure what the state/purpose of this project is, but there is also the quickstart project, which is more up-to-date and also used by the official docs (so will probably remain up-to-date in the future too).
