I can access that page, itself, and I can
"see" some subsets of "webtools", like "webtools.incubator"
"webtools.releng" (the few I tried), but if I select "webtools"
itself in the long list of projects, I am asked to login again. That's
what made me think it was related to committer rights. And, I'm guessing
it is the "webtools" "container" project that has the
interesting long list of oddities.

Issues with missing CQ entries...

I can't "see" that report ... my guess it
my committer ID was removed from the "umbrella" group, as well
as the more specific groups?
But in researching it, I discovered that we, webtools, have the first 8
CQs ever put in the IPZilla database ... how's that for a dubious honor?
:)
While I can't see the report, I see that "webtools area" is defined
as
/home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/webtools/
I think in the past we've only focused on "what we release" which
would be what's under
/home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops
So, it wouldn't surprise me if there was stuff up there that we never really
'released' and was put up there before "we" knew what we were
doing [such as for the tutorials, tests, build tools, etc.] But, agree
with Wayne (Wayne is always right, correct? :) that "anything on downloads"
should be IP Clean ... and we've just never scrubed it ourselves, but sounds
like Wayne is now.
Without seeing the list, hard to know what to recommend ... if to "get
rid" of some of the old stuff (leaving a polite webpage in its place,
explaining it was removed due to age) or to push ahead and get CQ clearance
(eventually) even though its not stuff we "release".I'd lean
toward the former, but ... without seeing the list, I would not follow
my advice :/
Naci might know about some of the tutorials/education material and if any
of that is still useful/valid?
Wayne emailed me earlier today as he was browsing through our IP log submission,
and discovered potentially a large amount of
third party libraries that are not tied to CQ's.
Along with the large amount of test or sample files that are included in
our junits or documentation, we also have many files that may need attention
(axis, ant, commons, derby, jsr*, wsdl, etc...)
I'm going to send a note today for everyone to take a second look at this
particular report.
David - Since most of these "problems" are ancient file references,
Is this a case of missing CQ entries? do we simply need to map them
somehow?
