+1 for attic
Yes we should move it but not in contrib since it's not contribs but
official retired projects.
+1
Jerome.
I can also think of some plugins that could go there (alexa, adwords,
etc) - We'd need to verify that they don't work since otherwise they
probably don't need to be moved.
We could also define a rule to move stuff to the attic:
- the feature is not working anymore
- there's been no commit for one year
Not sure, IMO we should move only if it does not work anymore and we
know we will not work on it. There is some basic components that will
certainly not change a lot at some point but are still important
peaces.
Obviously anyone interested in reviving the retired code could do so
and move it back to the platform at any time.
Any idea on this?
Thanks
