The modules in this directory are not actively maintained. They persist in this directory as a convenient marker for historical documentation, and to provide a starting point if future projects would like to resume development.
Removing unused modules from the primary directory reduces burden on slicer developers.
A short list of reasons why a module may be placed into the archive are as follows
- Project that originally funded the extension is now complete
- The extension has been superceeded with another, and is not recommended
- The extension has no development support, and no longer runs properly
| Date | Extension Name | Deprecation reason |
|---|---|---|
