There already IS a top level README.txt. An edit on that file will go nicely 
with the deletion of component directories. Remember to edit the LICENSE and 
NOTICE files, too.


Done.

Given that we voted to stop releasing standalone artifacts for the
pure ruby client with the last release, is there any reason to keep it
in the repository?

I noticed that the first thing that happened with the 0.10 release was
that a user came looking for the ruby client when the artifact went
missing, found the code in the 'full release' archive instead, and
just used that. A highly effective removal.

I have said in the past I'd prefer to use a non-trunk attic area, but
the concensus was to go for deletion, although nothing has happened
since that discussion.


I'm happy to delete this and the dotnet directory. Any objections to that?


Going once, going twice... I'll delete these directories tomorrow AM 
unless I hear objections. I'll do so on both the 0.12 release branch and 
on trunk.

My only suggestion would be to delete everything in the directories 
except the top level directory and then place a text / readme in the top
level directory telling users where to locate the new versions of these
clients.

I'm not keen on that. Documentation on what we have and where to find it 
is certainly good. I don't like readmes in stale directories.

How about a top level readme with a where everything is.

I think this is particularly important given the swig bindings as they
are not that easy to find unless you know what you are looking for.

Yes, a top level README is reasonable.

I agree they aren't easy to find. We also need to be clear about what to 
expect in terms of maturity with these however.

ack, this is a better than my first idea.

My comments are related to usability, and finding the pieces in the
download. It might make more sense to provide maturity indicators on the
download page, we can discuss this and add them with the 0.12 release.
