Thanks for the feedback, @sidvaish97. It’s good to hear your perspective. However, most of what you’re talking about is pretty orthogonal to this particular proposal. The problems you bring up are real ones, and the solutions you suggest are good ideas, but it’s not exactly within the domain of what I’m proposing here.
Your suggestion of adding Deprecation Notices to old modules, however, is highly pertinent, and a good idea. Maybe we could even archive some git repos!
I think the problems you’re facing have less to do with module maintenance, which this proposal is addressing, than with onboarding and intro docs. I also had a lot of trouble getting up to speed with OpenMRS. It doesn’t look like intro/onboarding docs made it into the 2020 GSoD projects, but that doesn’t mean you can’t rally people to work on it (and work on it yourself — but yeah, it’s more fun if you can find a teammate). Maybe post in the OpenMRS Documentation Team thread.
