I would actually do the opposite: we can put the libraries/frameworks that we are sure *are* active into the Active section and put everything else into Inactive. I have a feeling we'll be pretty close on the mark with our guesses; a quick look at the last upload date on Hackage should be sufficient. People are *much* more likely to move stuff from Inactive to Active than the other way around.

We can also send out an email to the cafe/web-devel with a list of packages we plan to mark as inactive and see if anyone objects. If no one is willing to stand up for a package, odds are it's dead.

That sounds like a good approach. Anyway, it's not the end of the world if a package gets put in inactive. Ones I know are definitely active are:

Happstack Haskell on a Horse loli Salvia Snap Yesod Turbinado -- is this still active? Alson Kemp basically ditched Haskell, so... Yesod

The others... I don't know.

I think it's fair to say that turbinado is inactive. But keep in mind that we should probably look at more than just the frameworks: servers, templating, etc.
