Agreed, I answered this way in the thread this morning:
I thought we could make it more obvious. Because it's not the 1st time I found
myself handling patches for desactivated component.
Anyway finally Sascha migrated webpos, so there is no worries, we will stay as
is.

Don't worry about it. For me it's totally OK to go BJs way. Comment out the
components in component-load.xml and build.xml with comments should make it
clear. Furthermore if an application is not maintained anymore i'm a friend
of not loading it, it's good for the back-end overview (less is more:-) and
better to handle for new user, isn't it?!).

OK,
It seems this does not raise much concerns and we need to move ahead with
the jQuery branch. What I will do:
Create an obsolete dir where I will put shark and webpos. It will make
things clear: except if someone wants to pick them up and works on them
again the components in this dir are not maintained anymore by the
community.
For now I keep ofbizsite out of it because I believe it offer a better
alternative (possible localisation with some effort already done). But if we
see that those effort are not continued then we will put it also there...
Thanks

Hi,
At https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3976 we began a discussion
with Sascha.
Sascha provided a migration for ofbizwebsite, but I wondered if it's worth
maintaining ofbizwebsite if we don't use and especially
maintain it at all...
Acually I think it's a good idea and some effort have already been made in
direction of a localised version of our site. At least
I'm aware about Erwan's as they show to me (in French by default) when I
log to http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ofbiz/. Note also
the flags...
I think the last discussion about it was
http://markmail.org/message/tefac6qlrmrqnlhx.
Contrary to Tim and David I'm not a lot concerned about change CMS
changes. This for 2 reasons,
1) I don't think they would happen often (if ever)
2) The site is updated every day and could be updated more often if
needed. When Gav from the infra team set it it was every 6
hours. I asked for every day only, to avoid the unavailability during
update which takes some time since it's svn up + clear all +
complete rebuild and launch.
The advantage is possible localisation, and I really don't think there are
ressources issues.
Also I know that at any moment someone could pick up webPOS or Shark and
continue the work already done. But I doubt. For Shark we
already discussed and the consensus was to move it out of the framework to
specialpurpose. This is not giving us much harms
(sometimes we get surprises though) and we may continue like that
(until?), what about webPOS? We know it misses an essential aspect
: JavaPOS handling. And I don't know if someone will ever take the
challenge. Could we not freeze this component with a tag and
remove them from the trunk? I know I'm a kind of maniac for ordering
things, so maybe I'm totally wrong about that, mostly because then new
comers may not be aware about their existence...
We could also create a specific directory, wip or notused or? and put them
both there. Also do we really need ebay *and* ebaystore?
Opinions?
Jacques
