Re: [reSIProcate] deprecated directories


I don't object to these going "away" (where away as Adam or Alan describe is fine).

What is the status of the following subdirectories/projects in resiprocate:
- gag: no idea

These have fallen into a state of disrepair. The gaim-patch is for pretty old version of gaim, and gag is based on the pre-dum TuIM class. If anyone wants to resurrect this effort, they would be better off starting the gag stuff over from scratch, and basing it on top of dum.

In practice, I've become too frustrated with gaim's overall quality and various Spencerisms to be very motivated to work on anything related to it. My long-term direction in this area is to come up with a dedicated, stand-alone MSRP-based IM client.



[Replying to myself, since I realize that my answer wasn't very definitive]

More concretely, unless someone objects (and I would make sure that Robert and Cullen specifically are given an opportunity to do so), I would propose that both of these directories can be removed, so long as they are archived somewhere easy to get to. (I'm not sure "somewhere in the vast history of the svn tree" qualifies as somewhere easy to get to). If they *are* resurrected, they really should be their own project -- and quite probably in their own repository (although that's a completely different can of worms).

I agree with Adam -- they are interesting enough that we don't want them to 'disappear' so there is a ready record of this effort. I'd suggest an obsolete or deprecated directory that contains these items, along with a README that explains basically exactly what Adam wrote above, namely: These are old and lonely; the gag system should use DUM and the gaim -patch is for a pre-historic GAIM release.

mmm. Spenserisms.  Is that like a spoonerism?
