We need to move our top-level view [1] into the A-D view [2]. Any volunteers willing to code this view in the Jenkins DSL?

I believe it is time for cleanup of those views once more. A few years ago, I cleaned up a heap of views and got quite some complaints from projects about doing so, without consultation, and the fact that this breaks links some projects use. Since that time however, projects have continued to create new Top Level views and now we are at a stage where again there are too many - there are currently 22 project type views. There are many more projects and I’d hate for this trend to continue upwards and clutter the main Jenkins landing page even more. I have created an INFRA ticket to track this at : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14002 The views I propose to remove are : Airavata, Apache Commons, Apex, Beam Brooklyn, Calciate, CarbonData, DL, Groovy, Hawq, Infra Jobs Monitor View, Lucene, OWB, Olingo, OpenJPA, POI, Shiro, Tamaya, Tika, XMLGraphics. cloudstack, directory Also: All the single letter viewss from A to Z. They are not much used and it is preferred to use 'A-D', 'E-G', 'H-L', 'M-R' and 'S-Z' Two Views unsure what to do with are: 'Incubator Projects' and 'PreCommit Builds' Some views have already been removed, I removed one called ‘jobs I have access to’ or something like that, the Maven project also removed their top level views so my thanks to them. The Infra jobs monitor view is one I created, my fault and Im going to move it under H-L where it belongs. ACTION NEEDED:- Please, could all project who are listed above as having a top level view, please move it to a view under the appropriate letters group, or remove it. The two Im not sure about ‘Incubator Projects’ and ‘PreCommit Builds’ , ‘Incubator Projects’ may be a benefit at top level if used correctly. ‘PreCommit Builds’ is not one owned by any one project, Im unsure whether this could stay top level and be a benefit. I’ll be moving the Infra views shortly. If, after a week, there are still projects at the top level view, I’ll move onto the next step of mailing the projects dev lists directly, though that should not be required if they have the representation on this list. Thanks in advance. I’ll keep the INFRA-14002 ticket updated with progress. Gav… (ASF Infra.)
