Hi all,

I wanted to make the proposal to archive the following two subproject on the 
grounds that they completed their goals

a) http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/pvops.html 
<http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/pvops.html>
b) http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/arm-hypervisor.html 
<http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/arm-hypervisor.html>

In the case of a) the goal was to establish Xen support in Linux, which has 
been achieved
In the case of b) the goal was to establish ARM support in the Hypervisor which 
has been achieved

According to http://xenproject.org/governance.html 
<http://xenproject.org/governance.html> we would need to perform an archivation 
review. In this case, the situation is quite clear IMHO and I believe that we 
do not need to make an extensive case, besides the one above. So my proposal 
would be to just have a committer vote on these. I would be happy if committers 
and maintainers listed in a), b) and 
http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor.html 
<http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor.html> were to just reply 
with the usual +1, 0, -1 to this thread.

In practical terms, the following would happen. I would remove a) from the 
website and merge bits of b) into 
http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor.html 
<http://xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor.html>

There is no mailing list or repo impact for both projects, as both do not have 
separate lists.

We would probably archive some pages in 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:PVOPS 
<http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:PVOPS> - I would need David and 
Konrad's help for that. Probably 15 minutes should be fine. Maybe in fact it 
may make sense to rename the Category to Linux.

As far as I can see, none of the pages in 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:XenARM 
<http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:XenARM> need to be archived. 
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Archived/Xen_ARM_(PV) 
<http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Archived/Xen_ARM_(PV)> is already archived.

We would probably also put together a blog post, once all of this has been done 
and maybe put together a press release (up to Sarah and the Advisory Board).

Any views?

Best Regards
Lars
