Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Start moving deprecated plugins into the contrib/retired repository

Hi devs, I'd like to start moving very old plugins out of the core and into the contrib/retired repository. For the moment, this includes: - PatternPlugin (regexp based text replacements when running the old rendering engine) - TablePlugin (pre-Radeox support for wiki table syntax) - GooglePlugin (search and spelling suggestions) - GraphViz (graph drawing, unmaintained for a long time; should be replaced with a component) - MailPlugin (unmaintained mailbox reading plugin) - QueryPlugin (old, unused precursor of the query service) - SVG (old, unmaintained plugin; should be replaced with a component) - testPlugin (test plugin, writen as a test plugin to test the plugin functionality :) ) - XWikiUserManagementTools (precursor for the invitation application, unmaintained) The remaining plugins must be rewritten as components first, since they still provide useful functionality.
