Hi, One strange thing is happenning: when you're not authenticated, the "letter views" are not visible: strangely, the view that are visible are exactly the view that are proposed to be deleted.
Is there a bug somewhere? Notice that this does not change anything to the proposal: - creating project views as top view is simply not scalable given our size [1] - when people create new views, they are authenticated, then see the letter views Regards, Hervé [1] https://projects.apache.org/ Le dimanche 30 avril 2017, 18:19:59 CEST Gavin McDonald a écrit : > Hi All, > > We are starting to get complaints about the amount of top level views in our > Jenkins instance. > > I believe it is time for cleanup of those views once more. > > A few years ago, I cleaned up a heap of views and got quite some complaints > from projects about doing so, without consultation, and the fact that this > breaks links some projects use. > > Since that time however, projects have continued to create new Top Level > views and now we are at a stage where again there are too many - there are > currently 22 project type views. > > There are many more projects and I’d hate for this trend to continue upwards > and clutter the main Jenkins landing page even more. > > I have created an INFRA ticket to track this at : > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14002 > <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14002> > > The views I propose to remove are : > > Airavata, Apache Commons, Apex, Beam Brooklyn, Calciate, CarbonData, DL, > Groovy, Hawq, Infra Jobs Monitor View, Lucene, OWB, Olingo, OpenJPA, POI, > Shiro, Tamaya, Tika, XMLGraphics. cloudstack, directory > > Also: All the single letter viewss from A to Z.
