There are still a few loose ends. For example have we finished moving stuff from http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/ ?
Not yet, so far it was done as needed. Should we move all of them ASAP?
I think so, so that we can really remove SVN and avoid all confusion. We need to decide what we do with "retired" projects. Some xwiki-retired organization on github or simply inside xwiki-contrib and just mention the "retired" in a top level README?
I moved everything under contrib/projects to xwiki-contrib, each project in its own repository.
I moved everything under contrib/retired to a single big repository on xwiki-contrib.
Things under contrib/people should be migrated by their owners.
I'm not sure what to do with the things in contrib/sandbox. Everything in one big repository, or each project separated?
There's also the question of where to put retired projects.
Right now I see only 2 options: 1) leave them in xwiki-contrib but add a README file at top level mentioning what they've been replaced with 2) create a xwiki-retired organization and move retired projects there
Before we make a choice we need to agree on the definition of "retired". Here's what I think it is: - projects for which there's a new and better way of doing it - projects that have not been active for a certain time (like the Attic in the ASF - http://attic.apache.org/). Done with a VOTE on a case by case basis
If we choose 2) maybe we rename the org to xwiki-attic instead of xwiki-retried.
WDYT?
Personally I'm hesitating. If github had a better top level repo org I'd choose 1) but seen the current way it's handled I think I'm slightly in favor of 2).
For the moment I put them on xwiki-contrib, in a "retired" repository. For the future, I agree that an xwiki-attic organization would be better; still, I prefer to leave things as they are for the moment, until we find something else to put there (old XWiki Workspaces, old XWatch). -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
