That was just done to cause a "ping" to happen on that bug, since it's been sitting idle for a while, and we're still not 100% standardized in Modeling.

I'm happy with /cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/modeling/ being owned and ACL'd by anyone/everyone in modeling.website, but you (and the various Modeling PMCs) may prefer to split it by subproject:

/cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/modeling/emf/ -> modeling.emf.website
/cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/modeling/mdt/ -> modeling.mdt.website
...

Note that modeling.mdt.website doesn't (yet) exist. Check *this* bit of inconsistency in group names:

$ group khussey mdt
9: mdt-dev
10: mdt-home
11: mdtadmin
12: modeling.mdt.ocl
13: modeling.mdt.ocl-releng
14: mdt-uml2tools
15: mdt-uml2tools-releng
16: mdt-uml2
17: mdt-uml2-releng
18: mdt-xsd
19: mdt-xsd-releng
20: mdt-releng
21: modeling.mdt.imm-dev
22: modeling.mdt.imm-home
23: modeling.mdt.imm-admin
24: modeling.mdt.imm-releng
25: modeling.mdt.bpmn2-dev
26: modeling.mdt.bpmn2-releng
27: modeling.mdt.bpmn2-home
28: modeling.mdt.bpmn2-admin
32: modeling.mdt.mst
727 nickb@node4:~
$ group khussey website
29: modeling.emf.website

where `group` is basically `groups | egrep`: 

#!/bin/bash
filter=":";
if [[ $2 ]]; then filter=$2; fi
if [[ $1 ]]; then
  for f in `groups $1`;do (( c++)); echo $c: $f | egrep "$filter"; done
fi

And that's just one example. Would you prefer this moved to a new bug?

Let's fix this.  I don't expect that re-naming the groups will have any impact although compressing them may.

When is a good time for the Modeling project?

After Galileo SR1 is done, maybe? Dunno, depends on the MDT leads. 

Try firing a note at mdt-dev@ or mdt.dev@ and asking them. Or maybe Kenn has a preference? 

(Generally he shoots down every bug I open to make things more consistent, and those bugs sit idle for months thereafter. Perhaps this one will be different?)

Hey, I thought the group names made MDT hella cool. ;)

It doesn't matter to me whether/when the (server) groups are renamed.

The only change I remember shooting down was renaming the mailing lists, since that would have an explicit impact.

Ok, I've mapped out the changes required to bring the MDT groups into alignment with the standards. 

I'll wait until monday and then clean up these groups.

-M.
Comment 5 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-09-28 15:11:19 EDT
I've cleaned up all of the MDT related groups I can find.  Please file a bug or send an email if something isn't working as expected.
