If no one is planning to do much work on the WUSH.NET SVN tomorrow (Sunday), 
I'd like to make some final changes before we freeze and move it.

Here are some directories I think we can remove as obsolete:

* Forrest (now "site")
* Tutorial1 (now "Tutorial")
* Website  (now "site")
* Whiteboard (we can use the Wiki)

Since we have multiple artifacts with their own release cycles, we should have 
those at the root of the repository. The /trunk folder and /tags folder (if 
any) then comes under the artifact folder. If we move things around that way 
we'd have something like

/Source
 ./tags
 ./trunk
 ../External-Bin
    (...)
 ../IBatisNet.Test

/NPetshop
./trunk

/Tutorial
./trunk

At some point, we should split Source so that there are separate DataMapper and 
DataAccess solutions. I'm not sure how much surgery this will take, but it 
really should be done. With the rise of .NET IOC frameworks, like Castle and 
Spring, as is the case with Java, many teams will not need the DAO framework 
anymore.

*Important*

We will have to have to remove the NHibernate.dll, ByteFX.MySqlClient.dll, 
HashCodeProvider.dll, ICSharpCode.dll, and Iesi.Collections.dll from the 
External-Bin directory. These are distributed under the LPGL and we can't check 
them into an ASF repository. According to our legal team, if we bundle *GPL 
binaries, then our code becomes *GPL too :(

The others are OK, since they are under an Apache-compatible license.

The board is drafting a resolution for a vote on Wednesday that should allow us 
to import LPGL code in the source, so the source code dependant on these 
libraries is OK. But *GPL binaries are forbidden (as the license is viral).

I realize this is a pain. We can zip them up and distribute them from 
SourceForge, but we cannot have the binaries under a ASF repository. Sorry :(

If I don't hear from anyone, I'll make these final changes before we freeze SVN 
tomorrow night.

-Ted.
