| [technology-pmc] Migrating Technology projects from CVS to Git |
|
Greetings folks. I'm actually a little surprised by how few Technology projects have active CVS repositories. Here's the list:
As the project lead for Dash and Commits Dashboard (Dash subproject), I'll take the lead on that. I think that there may be some functionality to retire in there. In fact, I'm not entirely convinced that Dash is an appropriate Eclipse project, but I'll leave that as a problem to solve later. I've been talking with Denis about the Phoenix project. We're in the process of converting Eclipse Foundation-managed website properties to Git. Phoenix will move along as part of this. In fact, Phoenix might actually just go away as it hasn't been operating like a proper project for a long time. I'll discuss this with the rest of the team. I'm also a little sour on the Examples project. It's completely dead. I may move the examples that I've added to GitHub or EclipseLabs and just shut down the project. I'm not sure about what we should with the the Toast example. It was intended to showcase Eclipse runtime technology, but I believe that it's woefully out of date. Perhaps the threat of project death will shake up some interest. I have created a Technology Project Cull 2012 page on the wiki [2]. That leaves:
Of this list, only Remus seems to be inactive (and only for the last six months). I'll contact each of these projects to make sure that Git migration is on their radar.
