Re: Reorganization of Hall-D group area.
Hi David -
I am sure that this does need cleaning up. However, there are a
few things that may be useful:
The main GlueX web site is not the JLab site, but rather
http://www.gluex.org/
all links to a "main" gluex site should go there.
The GlueX document repositories are currently archived at the
site:
http://www.halld.org/
You probably want to point into these for documents, and any and
all offcial documents are supposed to be archived here. I don't think
that we are complete, but we are trying.
As per the software in the cvs directories, I can well imagine that
it is a mess. There are a lot of things that were dropped in there
about 4 years ago, and probably not used since then. You may well
want to consider archiving most of the stuff there, and trying to restart
with some minimum set of software. (I honestly have not looked at this
is a while, but I know how repositories grow.
The bottom line is that almost anything that you do would be good,
go for it!

This last one in my mind should point to gluex.org - the Jlab site is
not really where we want to send visitors to GlueX??
