Hello. I've cloned Watir's whole repo from http://github.com/bret/watir and started to take a look on the current situation.
I've started to notice that there's some things which should not be maybe there anymore. I propose that these things should be deleted or changed (that's why there's version control, isn't it?). Anyway, my preliminary proposal is to change these things: * commonwatir: 1) History.txt - is there any plan to use it? Currently it just seems too empty and has wrong version in it. Delete it? 2) README.txt - has a lot of missing information there plus "FIX" statements. Clean it up and just leave the license part maybe? How to run all tests for commonwatir? rake -T doesn't show any tasks related with running all the tests from commonwatir... * doc: Is 'doc' directory a source for the website wtr.rubyforge.com a.k.a watir.com up to date? For me, it seems not to be - so, deleting it or making it up to date seem only reasonable options to me. * firewatir: 1) CHANGES - it seems to be out of date because latest FireWatir seems to be also 1.6.5, but in that file it's 1.2.1... what to do? 2) attic directory - delete? How to run just all firewatir tests? * watir: 1) 'installer' directory seems to be obsolete... correct me if i'm wrong. Delete? 2) lib/readme.rb - out of date 3) unittests/.cvsignore - delete 4) building-watir.txt - delete? 5) CHANGES - no changes for 1.6.5? 6) coding_conventions.txt - is it really needed? delete? 7) install_dev_gems.bat - shouldn't .gemspec be used for development dependencies instead? delete? 8) NEWCHANGES? Why is it even a separate file? And if it has changes for Firewatir and Watir, then maybe delete CHANGES from Firewatir altogether and/or move it's contents to Watir's CHANGES? delete? 9) watir-rdoc.rb - why not have these in .gemspec again? delete? 10) watir_release.txt is necessary? delete? Again, no rake-task for just running Watir's tests? commonwatir, firewatir/watir have different license types... what about using the same license for all of these subprojects? If someone can give me answers to the proposals above then i could start making the changes and perform some pull requests on github.
