I'd like to remove them, since they are a burden to maintain and they give the false impression that some functionality exists and is supposed to work. Actions to remove: - /status/, which was supposed to give status information about the server (memory + database connections), but it doesn't work at all now, and it would need some major work to make it functional + safe. The same (and more) functionality is provided by the Monitoring Application. - /gettables/ /createchart/ /previewchart/ and /chartwizard/, which were supposed to be used by a chart wizard developed in 2005, but unmaintained since then, and which don't work anymore. Viewing manually entered charts still works without these actions. - /lifeblog/ (and the entire com.xpn.xwiki.atom package) which doesn't seem to work, since it was written a very long time ago, and uses a lot of old, not working stuff, like a XWiki.BlogPreferences class and expects unencrypted passwords. Templates to remove: - status.vm, used by the /status/ action - chwmain.vm, gettables.vm, getpagedatasources.vm and the chw/ directory, used by the non-working chart wizard - wml.vm, since it offers very little functionality, and nobody really uses WML anymore - s5*.vm, used by the old Presentation Application, which was removed from the default XE and has been unmaintained for a long time All these probably haven't been used since before XWiki 1.0, and in case we'll ever need them, they can be found in the SVN history. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
