[geclipse-user] Termination list for 2013

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear g-Eclipse committers and fellows,

about two weeks ago I received the following mail from Wayne via the Technology PMC mailing list about projects [1] that are considered for termination later this year. This means that the source code and all downloads of a project will be archived and the present committers decommitterized.

With the Eclipse Development Process [2] in mind, I think this is the correct decision. We haven't had any commits in SVN in the past 2 years, and I haven't seen much traffic on our mailing lists either, but my impression may be wrong.

Any other opinions?

One thing that I'd like to do before our termination is a migration of our source code from Subversion to Git. This had the advantage that the code is easier to access and would be mirrored to locations other than Eclipse (i.e. Google Code, Github). I'll ask about the migration details in a separate mail soon.

Thanks and regards,
Markus

I've started a wiki page.

Feel free to add candidates for consideration.
