Team, we have a Roller dev guide[1] under docs, apparently last updated in
2007, mostly empty and, for what isn't empty, mostly obsolete -- I'd like
to just delete it. Any problem if I do so? Today we keep our developer
notes on our Confluence Wiki.
Potentially *possible* useful material, which I can quickly copy over to
our Wiki, is Chapter 6, Publishing via Atom Publishing Protocol and the
huge Chapter 7, Provisioning with Roller Admin Protocol (RAP)[2], the
latter of which I was completely unaware of. (Do we still have RAP in
Roller? Do we need to get rid of it, modernize it, or?) Can anyone more
knowledgable look at those two chapters and see if I should copy them to
the Wiki or if the material is too out-of-date--I won't need to bother
doing so?
Sounds good to me. The wiki is probably a better place for such material
anyway. RAP is still in Roller but I doubt anybody is using it and it has
not been tested in years.

OK, deleted the book but moved the RAP chapter to the end of the Install
Guide. For safety I listed it as "alpha" (although it's probably better
than that) and made a stronger note in the chapter not to use it in
production. Perhaps we can later discuss removing RAP from Roller
entirely, especially if we were to do it again it would be implemented
very differently today (i.e., if it not just needs retesting but is
architecturally obsolete.)
