This repository holds links to paused project documentation that has been made public.
Government Digital Service (GDS) teams work in quarterly cycles to help us work on the highest priorities while supporting our live services. When a cycle ends, work can be paused or stopped in light of changing priorities.
When this happens, we document our findings to make it easy for the project to be continued in the future. We make public as much of this output as possible to support teams outside of GDS who are working on the same problems. This is part of our commitment to make things open.
