lets get rid of our junk! #1

I was looking for more modules to add to the village tracker process...

and I saw we had a lot of junk. There is lots of old stuff that isn't documented, doesn't do anything, maybe is interesting from a historical perspective, but isn't important to someone trying to understand how ssb works currently, and actually is a obstical to that, because you have to figure out if it's still relevant.

You can archive a repo, but it's still shown in the repos list, so you still have to scroll past it. better to move it here.

@christianbundy @mixmix @ahdinosaur @marylychee @clevinson I invited you all as colaborators, I made mix owner. we need everyone to be owners so that they can add more people. if you add transfer something here, remember to turn off issues (which is inside settings, somewhere)

mixmix commented 5 years ago

Can you seed this with some examples of modules that are being junkyarded?

It might be fun to get together on a call and point to old junk. I'm excited to clearly deprecate / sunset some modules huh

dominictarr commented 5 years ago

@mixmix I have done added several modules already. If I added something you disagreed about, feel free to move it back. I think the time of a call could be better spent just doing it, but if you want to be on a call while you do it go ahead.

Adding this as issue in village tracker. if you got this some one will need to add you as owner of this org and ssbc, so you can transfer modules

dominictarr commented 5 years ago

the task is look for things that are not used anymore, not useful, and/or no longer maintained, and move them here.

Another option would be to archive the repo. This would keep the URL but make the repo read-only, plus it shows a warning to folks trying to interact with it. More info here

dominictarr commented 5 years ago

@christianbundy yes I tried that but it still appears in the repository list so it doesn't de-clutter

dominictarr commented 5 years ago

we should still archive the modules... I just wish there was a way to archive in bulk
