Description Susan McCourt CLA 2012-08-09 15:20:45 EDT
We should remove pages that aren't being kept up to date.  I'm not sure of the status of these pages.  Some of them no longer work, which means they haven't been kept up to date with global changes.  I can take care of this when releasing the pervasive layout changes, it will save me time to get rid of pages we no longer use.

If someone wants to keep a page as an alternate/comparison, can you please make sure it's working in the current build, that way I can make sure I convert the layout properly.

org.eclipse.orion.client.users/web/profile/user-profile.html 
    Gosia - can we punt or get it working?

org.eclipse.orion.client.debug/web/debug.html
org.eclipse.orion.client.debug/web/connections.html
    Grant - these seem similar, are these still active pages?

org.eclipse.orion.client.core/web/plugin/list.html
    Simon - I assume we can punt this in favor of the settings plugin list, it no longer works

org.eclipse.orion.client.core/web/plugin/install.html
    Mark - do we use this anymore?  It's Boris' old "install with a click" page but now we have the URL binding.

cc'ing John as I don't know if there are any build issues associated with getting rid of pages.

Nope, this page can go.
Comment 3 Grant Gayed CLA 2012-08-10 23:40:23 EDT
Nothing in org.eclipse.orion.client.debug currently appears in Orion, so the pages (or whole folder) can go.  It could become useful later, but can be resurrected from the repository at that time.

thanks, Grant.  If it has a possible future, I don't mind keeping it "in synch" if I know what I'm looking for when opening the page, what to test...
Comment 5 Susan McCourt CLA 2012-08-14 12:08:23 EDT
I have removed the
org.eclipse.client.core/web/plugin directory (and the install.html and list.html pages).

Waiting to here from Gosia on 
org.eclipse.client.users/web/profile/user-profile.html

I manually updated the debug pages but could not test.  Since they may be used later...
Comment 6 Susan McCourt CLA 2012-08-15 14:37:45 EDT
We did a lot of pruning of unneeded folders yesterday, so I've decided to be more aggressive in deleting unused pages.  The cost of trying to keep pages updated is pretty expensive especially those that can't be tested.

- There is no way to test the debug pages as they aren't mounted on a self hosting site, etc.  Given they appeared to be quite out of date before I updated them, I will take Grant's original suggestion in comment 3 and delete the entire folder.  We can get it back someday if needed.

- org.eclipse.orion.client.user/user-profile.html does not work and so I will remove that one as well.

Talked to John, he will remove the optimization of user-profile.html from the build script.

Fixed in
