Some of those can only be downloaded from sourceforge or ftp server.&lt;p&gt;Even worse, some libraries are copy and pasted from project to project and have no actual home.&lt;p&gt;We uploaded them to github and started maintaining them.&lt;p&gt;If you know any abandoned C&amp;#x2F;C++ projects or C&amp;#x2F;C++ projects you need a hand in maintaining, we are happy to help.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;loopperfect&amp;#x2F;buckaroo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;loopperfect&amp;#x2F;buckaroo&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
