[Evergreen-dev] Git Repositories to Drop?

Hello, all.

While working on the git branch renaming project, I've noticed that we 
have a number of Git repositories hosted on the community server that 
have not been used for some time.  I am writing to get some consensus on 
whether or not we should keep or delete any of the following repositories:


contrib/Conifer.git
contrib/equinox.git
contrib/masslnc/vmscripts.git
contrib/mohawk.git
contrib/overdrive-eg-opac.git
contrib/pines.git
contrib/pines/eg-debian.git
contrib/pines/genasys.git
contrib/pines/osrf-debian.git
contrib/pines/report-creator.git
contrib/tadl.git
evergreen/bjwebb.git *
Evergreen-DocBook.git
evergreen/equinox.git
evergreen/joelewis.git *
evergreen/masslnc.git
evergreen/tadl.git
Evergreen_Website.git
opensrf/bjwebb.git *
Syrup.git
syrup/masslnc.git
testing.git

The last repository, testing.git, is a default created by gitolite and 
could be useful for folks just learning git.

An asterisk at the end of a line indicates a repository that I think 
should be deleted because they belong to Google Summer of Code 
participants from approximately 10 years ago, and it looks like all of 
the relevant code from them has been merged into Evergreen and OpenSRF.

I have not checked everyone of these repositories for activity, so if 
you are actively using one on the list, be sure to let me know.

I want to add that the presence of these repositories doesn't add much 
to the maintenance cost of the server, but they will complicate things 
if/when we ever move to another hosting environment.

Thanks for any feedback!

Jason
