[Building Sakai] [sakai-pmc] PROPOSAL: svn cleanup

[Mustansar Mehmood]

Making a major jump to versioning scheme should allow Sakai project to
go ahead with major changes that have been pending over the time for one
reason or the other.
 While I do not condone loss of commit information I think it is a good
idea to move things around if it helps the future
development/maintenance and deployment.
Sharing a clear sense of the direction is useful to everyone through
email/confluence communication as well as svn management/organization.
if possible creating an easy to see set of obselete/deprecated and near
deprecation/extinction  modules is a neat idea. And making them optional
to "build" will help as well.
I hope the instability in the code base will be temporary and with long
reaching effects in areas even including helping new developers learn
how to maintain/augment Sakai.

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when,you  looked at it in the right way, did not become still more complicated.
