Developers of Sympa

[IKEDA Soji <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

I compiled David's advice and subsequent comments into single tree.

• Paths indicated by strike-through are proposed/suggested to be removed or moved to other place.  These changes are not necessarily agreed by now.
  
• See notes at bottom for details.
  (I added more notes: [0.1], [1], [5].)

[0] [SI] sympa.generic and sympa.in may be moved to top level.
[0.1] [SI] And also logrotate may be moved to top level.
[1] [SI] README.postfix, currently placed under src/, would also be here.
[2] [SI] Use gettext domain names.
[3] [DV] No longer exists.
[4] [SI] I feel src/ is not needed.
[5] [SI] cgi/INSTALL and cgi/README May be removed or merged into INSTALL and README at toplevel.
[6] [SI] web/ and soap/ subdirectories would be wwsympa/ and sympa_soap_server/, names of programs.
    However, directories essentially contain only two files by each.  I suppose clarification is less important.
[7] [SI] I wish to install wrappers not for CGIs into single place, libexec/, especially concerning setuid'ed excecutables.
[8] [DV] Maybe sympa_wizard.pl.in should move, the, as it is used at install time only?

Regards,
