Good morning everyone,

Starting this thread to discuss any concerns about retiring this forums category. Kitura has become a [community project](https://forums.swift.org/t/kitura-is-now-a-community-project/39199/17) back in 2021, however since then has become inactive. Last merged contributions in the project happened 3 years ago, and the project is also not SSWG incubated nowadays either.

Not all is bad, new frameworks have stepped up ever since and we have a healthy serverside and web framework ecosystem with vapor and hummingbird and other small projects.

The SSWG believe it would be prudent to cleanup and archive this forums category in order not to keep inactive projects prominently featured which may give the wrong impression to newcomers.

Please chime in if you have any concerns, otherwise we’ll figure out archiving this category.

I’m sad to see Kitura fall to the wayside, but unfortunately I also haven’t had as much time to really commit to the project as I had hoped. ☹
