Hi Hannes,
Good initiative, and since we have versioning a deletion can be undone...while I am not certain restoring a whole branch will be fun after all.
I suggest you go along everyone "owning" the branches before moving ahead, as far as I know the following people need to be contacted:
- anthony --> guess who ;-)
- cache-refactor --> Anthony
- contenttypes --> Anthony
- javascript --> see response of Rob
- joda --> not sure??
- menu --> see Louis his response
- refactoring --> double check with Andrew
- translation --> dito, double check with Andrew
- update --> Sam
Regards, Wilco
