Re: Removing modules?

Could we remove the modules (solvers)?

We have discussed putting the modules in a separate repository for a
while and we might as well do it now.

I suggest we remove them now and then someone willing to maintain the
modules in a separate project can make sure that the modules work
against the new interface.

Any objections? (some expected ;-)


Given that most of the modules are not being regularly maintained and have not gone beyond the embryonic stage, I'm inclined to say remove them. Also, the demos have increased in sophistication and demonstrate DOLFIN use for new users.

In terms of maintenance, most modules are even less likely to be maintained if they are spun off into a separate package. What about just letting individuals make modules available? Module developers closely involved with FEniCS project could publish their modules under http://www.fenics.org/dev/, and others could place them on their own web pages, with links from www.fenics.org.
