nose project maintenance

[Jamim]

Hello everyone,

Sadly, this project looks abandoned. I see that there is a successor — nose2. I believe that it worth to at least update the readme and the description in purpose to mention that nose is obsolete and you should use nose2 or some other test framework for new projects instead.

@jpellerin, @kumar303, @liucougar, @pjenvey, @thedrow What do you think? Is it reasonable/possible?

Thanks!

I have no opinion. Some people still use nose and it works for them.

Apparently, the docs already do so. I think adding it to the readme would be coherent with the current state of things

People continue to write new issues here. We could add GitHub issue and pull request templates that make clear that no action will be taken on issues or pull requests.

It seems a shame to not at least put up some notices.

I suggest a No Maintenance Intended badge, and using GitHub's "archive this project" functionality so as to make it clear that new issues and pull requests will be unanswered.

(Learned of this situation from this tweet.)
