Description Denis Roy CLA 2013-06-24 13:46:07 EDT
To avoid confusion and help reduce our maintenance burden, it would be great if we could make a plan to deprecate and shut down the Portal.

- identify Portal functionality that is needed before shutdown
- port that functionality to PMI or other
- open bugs for remaining functionality
- shut it down

This may already exist, but it'd be nice if there was a "educational table" or something that simply described current state ... such as "if you used to use Portal for xyz", now you can use PMI by doing abc". In other words, a sort of "training manual".

Starting point:

The training manual aspect needs work.

Committer Tools

That table is a great start ... very informative at a glance. 

One thing I _think_ was missing (at least in part) was the "committer tools" I use from time to time. 

Some of the function is likely buried in some of those PMI pages I've not looked closely at ... just thought I'd remind you, in case not there yet.

Added.

Denis and I may refactor it into separate bits at some point (i.e. download stats, Manage bugzilla, ...)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

We're tracking the effort on an internal tracker to keep noise down.  For anything that affects the public, we'll open Bugzilla bugs.
