This is a DRAFT page still under review by the Global Projects Committee

This page is maintained by the Global Projects Committee to help assist Project Leaders with information about successfully running an OWASP Project. It will be updated from time to time, and changes will be discussed and announced on the OWASP-Leaders list.


Projects themselves have a much simpler assessment criteria than releases. Projects are categorized as active or inactive. Active status is based upon keeping the OWASP wiki page current as well as responding to periodic email queries from the Global Projects Committee. To maintain an active status, projects must:

  • Keep the project template on the project wiki page up to date with current project information
  • There is a current
    • conference style presentation that describes the tool in at least 3 slides
    • one sheet overview document about the project
  • Project survey emails sent to the project mail list have response times no longer than (put time frame here).
