Scary Stats

["Gav...." <br...@brightontown.com.au>]

Just messing with a new program, I never bothered looking before at :-

Forrest contains 18,344 Files in 9,004 (?) Folders using a total of 
114,001,433 Bytes.

/lib is the greediest hogging 34 %
/tools is right up there with 24 %
/whiteboard is next with 18%
then comes plugins, site-author and main totalling 21 % (8%,7%,6%)


And how many are here maintaining all this ?

I suspect you are counting the svn files here too, that more than 
doubles the file count.

Not alot we can do about that, Cocoon is a bit bloated. However, If 
someone needs a small production footprint for Forrest it is possible to 
shrink this with various tools. I'm no expert on this, but I know it can 
be done.

Some stuff in tools can go.

Whiteboard could do with a spring clean I think, There is plenty of 
stuff in there that has no maintainer.

It has been proposed that plugins move out of trunk and into their own 
branch.

Site-author can shrink considerably if we switch to using the 
locationmap since files that are the same in 0.8-dev can come from the 
0.7 repository. We only need to duplicate them when they get are changed 
with 0.8-dev specific info. However, this is a very big job, I propose 
doing this when we move to 0.9-dev. At that point I think the plan is to 
retire the 0.6 docs, so this folder should shrink alot at that point.

Main will shrink as more stuff is moved out to plugins.

Remember, much of this stuff is libraries from other projects (the 34% 
in lib and a great deal in tools, for example).

Still, we do need more people.
