Hi Team, I'm inclined to remove the Roller Admin Protocol from Roller
trunk, any objections if I do so? As Dave notes below it hasn't been
updated in several years and even the documentation from that time warns
that it wasn't production-usable even at the time it came out several
years back (2007?), a situation that has probably gotten worse as Roller
has evolved since then.
We can restore it if someone has the time to devote to making it
production-worthy, but I suspect if there were newer efforts that it
would probably be redone from scratch today using more recent
technologies anyway. I'm trying to make Roller a more sustainable size
to accomodate our smaller team, as I see it, it's better to have a small
well-furnished home rather than a big, drafty mansion with lots of
half-empty rooms. :)
Regards,
Glen

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the Wiki or if the material is too out-of-date--I won't need to bother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.)
