I'm happy to delete this and the dotnet directory. Any objections to that?

There already IS a top level README.txt. An edit on that file will go nicely with the deletion of component directories. Remember to edit the LICENSE and NOTICE files, too.

My comments are related to usability, and finding the pieces in the
download. It might make more sense to provide maturity indicators on the
download page, we can discuss this and add them with the 0.12 release.

Yes, a top level README is reasonable.

I agree they aren't easy to find. We also need to be clear about what to
expect in terms of maturity with these however.

How about a top level readme with a where everything is.
I think this is particularly important given the swig bindings as they
are not that easy to find unless you know what you are looking for.

I'm not keen on that. Documentation on what we have and where to find it
is certainly good. I don't like readmes in stale directories.

My only suggestion would be to delete everything in the directories
except the top level directory and then place a text / readme in the top
level directory telling users where to locate the new versions of these
clients.

Going once, going twice... I'll delete these directories tomorrow AM
unless I hear objections. I'll do so on both the 0.12 release branch and
on trunk.
