Subject: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Cleanup templates and actions

Hi devs,

There are several templates and actions that haven't been used in quite 
a long time, most of which don't even work anymore. I'd like to remove 
them, since they are a burden to maintain and they give the false 
impression that some functionality exists and is supposed to work.

Actions to remove:
- /status/, which was supposed to give status information about the 
server (memory + database connections), but it doesn't work at all now, 
and it would need some major work to make it functional + safe. The same 
(and more) functionality is provided by the Monitoring Application.
- /gettables/ /createchart/ /previewchart/ and /chartwizard/, which were 
supposed to be used by a chart wizard developed in 2005, but 
unmaintained since then, and which don't work anymore. Viewing manually 
entered charts still works without these actions.
- /lifeblog/ (and the entire com.xpn.xwiki.atom package) which doesn't 
seem to work, since it was written a very long time ago, and uses a lot 
of old, not working stuff, like a XWiki.BlogPreferences class and 
expects unencrypted passwords.

Templates to remove:
- status.vm, used by the /status/ action
- chwmain.vm, gettables.vm, getpagedatasources.vm and the chw/ 
directory, used by the non-working chart wizard
- wml.vm, since it offers very little functionality, and nobody really 
uses WML anymore
- s5*.vm, used by the old Presentation Application, which was removed 
from the default XE and has been unmaintained for a long time


All these probably haven't been used since before XWiki 1.0, and in case 
we'll ever need them, they can be found in the SVN history.
