Announcing the open source release of Zombie Technology Elimination Project (ZTEP), gamifying the retirement of deprecated tech, powered by Elasticsearch!

Model the progress of a code migration effort as zombies that are still left to defeat! Support a culture of recognition by publicly celebrating the contributions of Zombie Hunters (code migrators) by awarding points and featuring them on the Hunter Heroes Leaderboard.

Inspired by the original ZTEP project by Mike Finney (@FinneyCanHelp) and others at Carfax:
