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 [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs

Hi devs,

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.

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.
