Hello,

We have some unused repos, which I think were replaced by other repos OR by other features stored in other repos. I would like to delete them.

- [https://github.com/bemanproject/library-template:](https://github.com/bemanproject/library-template:) The new library template is `exemplar`!
- [https://github.com/bemanproject/ci](https://github.com/bemanproject/ci) (private): CI was developed inside `exemplar`, @river , right?
- [https://github.com/bemanproject/website](https://github.com/bemanproject/website) (private): Not used. If we make a new website, probably it needs to have a specific name (e.g., if used with google pages).

What do you think? CC: [@project-leads](https://discourse.bemanproject.org/groups/project-leads)

I have no problem with removing them. Website might be the only one to keep…

With website why would it need a specific name? I thought the discussion was to host with github – but I can also keep hosting it. My personal opinion is that I would never want to depend on google to host something for us – others may disagree.

bemanproject/library-template - deleted  
bemanproject/ci - deleted

> With website why would it need a specific name? I thought the discussion was to host with github – but I can also keep hosting it. My personal opinion is that I would never want to depend on google to host something for us – others may disagree.  
> My bad. “google pages” → “git pages” (my mistake). And I found that the name of the repo can be changed from the git pages website config. Sorry, please ignore that mention.

Hey I know this is fine for this specific case. But I would prefer a longer notice period as I only saw the notification after they are deleted… 12hrs is not enough…

It is pretty clear those repos are not in use so this is understandable.

I take that someone else is working on this, probably in another repo?

The website repo @neatudarius is refereeing to is clearly abandoned.  
I think its better that we clean it up for now.

Sure, I already checked that there was no commit there in the last past 6 months.

I think nobody is actually coding to a website right now. We started discussing about a new website in last sync. Will continue discussing before actually pick a solution/direction.

I think it’s to keep this empty repo, probably will start the website there.

Yeah the website repo history is that Hana Dusíková took a swing at creating this during c++Now – but she liked the wordpress better at the time so we went with that. I don’t think it’s really interfering with whomever starts working on the new site.

I kept the repo, but removed all files and put just a README with a mention.
