+title: Orphaned Systems up for Adoption
+---
+Many of the KWARC projects are the work of students and become orphaned when these move on
+to greener pastures (e.g. when they graduate). We put these systems up for adoption bt new
+students. If you are interested, please contact someone from the KWARC group, we would be
+happy to help you understand the development opportunities and get involved.
