Subject: Deprecate MacroBazaar?
Hi,

What does everyone say to deprecating use of the MacroBazaar page on
t.e.o? It's quite a mess and there's a great deal of cruft. Here are
some relevant comments from IRC:

  <osimons> aat, coderanger - you two have been around for a while,
and with trac-hacks and all: http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6254.
surely this cannot be a trac issue?
  +what should we do with http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/MacroBazaar -
not easy to find support. remove or note on macros about support
issues? note on all that does not
  +have a maintainer with email for support? [00:15]
  *** Signoff: skiidoo ("*poof*") [00:16]
  <coderanger> With 0.11 killing off old-style macros, I think we can
migrate the few plugin-ified ones to trac-hacks and delete the rest
really [00:17]
  <coderanger> Or maybe put a huge warning on the page for a bit
  <coderanger> then kill it
  *** Muelli (i=Muelli@gateway/tor/x-0d6f074db14e8e86) has joined channel #trac
  <osimons> is is very messy
  * aat concurs
  > with both of your statements :)
  <osimons> concur as in 'I'll do it'? :-) [00:18]
  > hah [00:20]
  > no
  > for some historical perspective: the crapness of macro bazaar was
what originally motivated t-h [00:21]
  *** d0rt (n...@d90h90.public.simons-rock.edu) has joined channel #trac [00:23]
  *** drmikecrowe (n=drmik...@74.223.100.206.nw.nuvox.net) has joined
channel #trac [00:26]
  <asmodai> osimons: No, aat's handy in saying 'DOIT' to others ;)
  <osimons> aat: as t-h maintainer, perhaps then a call on trac-dev to
clean it up and that people should migrate to t-h? Most that develop
and attach there that are
  +still around will likely be on that list? [00:29]
  *** obsethryl (n=obsethry@unaffiliated/obsethryl) has joined channel
#trac [00:30]
  > asmodai: it's a gift :P [00:31]
  <ska-fan> I'm getting Environment not found with current trunk
  <ska-fan> What am I doing wrong? :)
  <ska-fan> ok, got it [00:33]
  > osimons: sure
  *** Signoff: lyakh ("thanks, bye") [00:33]
  *** lyakh (n=ly...@p57BD288D.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined channel
#trac [00:34]
  <osimons> aat: thanks! such self-sacrifice. such commitment. i don't
know how asmodai can think otherwise :-) [00:35]
  <coderanger> We could also just write-protect the page and put up a
nice warning message [00:37]
  > he is a cynical, cynical man
  <osimons> coderanger: sure, if we do get a number of plugins moving
over and removed from that page, then the rest will just be for
historic reasons. [00:39]

Also, I think that as osimons brought the idea up he should manage the
migration :P
