I think we both agree that dividing OF into classes can be done independently, we don't have to wait until OF moves to Savannah. > > If not, perhaps during OctConf 2012, we can all sit down and think > long and hard about how to fix the core vs Forge schism.

Can you do it? Yes, I could compile the lists. Later on, Carnë or I could move the packages to their new subfolders on SF. Don't know about the website. I would do the following: - main packages as in the debian packaging discussion - legacy: broken ones like my beloved symbolic package, no real svn activity in the past year. - extra: the remaining ones. I could use the list or the wiki to discuss my first draft. > >> PS: Sorry for hijacking the thread. > > Yeah, just change the subject line next time. I just did that. > > - Jordi G. H.
