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1) CHANGES - it seems to be out of date because latest FireWatir seems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2) lib/readme.rb - out of date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.
