On doing some more thinking on this.
I was always said that the specialpurpose may or may not be supported.
so the least evasive way to maintain that folder is to comment out the
components in component-load.xml and build.xml with comments like "not
maintained since" with a date
any one with Eclipse can see when and what was done to those.
Also anyone can go to The web version and see activity.
I think the actually thing you trying to address is if you should
consider those in your Jquery merge.
That to me is something as a general policy on handling Merges and the
specialpurpose.
you may want to start a seperate thread on that.

Yes sure, for now I have just made build.xml consistent with
component-load (at r1021526)
I note that people are very very busy, my 1st message was more than a
week ago.
Actually I get used to get no answers, thanks for yours!

I don't have time to get into an involved discussion but I would
prefer it if they were left as they are until a real discussion
is had and some form of consensus is reached.

OK,
It seems this does not raise much concerns and we need to move ahead
with the jQuery branch. What I will do:
Create an obsolete dir where I will put shark and webpos. It will
make things clear: except if someone wants to pick them up and
works on them again the components in this dir are not maintained
anymore by the community. For now I keep ofbizsite out of it
because I believe it offer a better alternative (possible
localisation with some effort already done). But if we see that those
effort are not continued then we will put it also there...
Thanks

Hi,
At https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3976 we began a
discussion with Sascha.
Sascha provided a migration for ofbizwebsite, but I wondered if it's
worth maintaining ofbizwebsite if we don't use and
especially maintain it at all...
Acually I think it's a good idea and some effort have already been
made in direction of a localised version of our site. At
least I'm aware about Erwan's as they show to me (in French by
default) when I log to http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/ofbiz/. Note
also the flags...
I think the last discussion about it was
http://markmail.org/message/tefac6qlrmrqnlhx.
Contrary to Tim and David I'm not a lot concerned about change CMS
changes. This for 2 reasons,
1) I don't think they would happen often (if ever)
2) The site is updated every day and could be updated more often if
needed. When Gav from the infra team set it it was every 6
hours. I asked for every day only, to avoid the unavailability
during update which takes some time since it's svn up + clear
all + complete rebuild and launch.
The advantage is possible localisation, and I really don't think
there are ressources issues.
Also I know that at any moment someone could pick up webPOS or Shark
and continue the work already done. But I doubt. For Shark
we already discussed and the consensus was to move it out of the
framework to specialpurpose. This is not giving us much harms
(sometimes we get surprises though) and we may continue like that
(until?), what about webPOS? We know it misses an essential
aspect
JavaPOS handling. And I don't know if someone will ever take the
challenge. Could we not freeze this component with a tag and
remove them from the trunk? I know I'm a kind of maniac for ordering
things, so maybe I'm totally wrong about that, mostly
because then new comers may not be aware about their existence... We
could also create a specific directory, wip or notused or?
and put them both there. Also do we really need ebay *and* ebaystore?
Opinions?
Jacques
