Hi all,

Our SVN is huge, a real pain to:
    - checkout (for both newbies and core devs -- those that must
checkout everything, so can grep to see what our core changes affect)
    - understand (for newbies, that also suffer from huge checkout time)

The amount of legacy that not even compiles is great. I tried to
reduce it a while ago by moving things to BROKEN and OLD. I bet most
of stuff in OLD is now broken, and I want to remove those altogether
before 1.0 is released.

My current plan is to remove:
   - BROKEN/*
   - OLD/ all except etk and BINDINGS/python-etk -- no hard feelings
if everyone agrees to remove these as well
   - PROTO/eve  (I'll add a proper webkit browser once webkit-efl is
released later this month, we broke all the API and eve as is will not
even compile)

I need feedback on these, I don't use and don't know nobody that uses
or maintain those, so no idea if they ever compile or are maintained:
   - elicit
   - elitaire
   - emprint
   - ephoto
   - esmart (broken IMO)
   - estickies
   - exml
   - entrance (broken IMO, but seems quaker wants to fix its problems)
   - edje_editor (uses etk... and not catching up)
   - edje_viewer (is it working? I guess so... willing to keep it if
it is working)
   - imlib2_loaders
   - imlib2_tools
   - MISC/enna (move outside SVN AFAIK)
   - MISC/gevas*
   - PROTO/elm_* (I guess these are maintained by devilhorns, but need
to confirm)
   - PROTO/enterminus (dead and broken AFAIK)
   - PROTO/e_phys
   - PROTO/epx
   - PROTO/exorcist
   - PROTO/fiddle  (raster never got back to it...)
   - PROTO/eyesight  (is it maintained? does it work?)
   - PROTO/gfx_routines
   - PROTO/keys (is it maintained? does it work?)
   - BINDINGS/ruby
   - BINDINGS/perl (all except newly added Elementary?)

Let's not forget we have svn history... so people can always dig there
to find ancient code, just svn (co|up) -r1234 to get it.

If you are (or better put: used to be) the maintainer of one of these
packages and do not want to maintain it anymore and cannot find a new
maintainer, please consider removing it from SVN yourself.

BR,
