[tei-council] outstanding questions regarding P4 deprecation in the Vault

[Kevin Hawkins]

Per our discussion during today's conf call, I'm asking you all for any 
comments you have on these outstanding matters related to moving P4 to 
the Vault.

A) What do we do about files in http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/DTD/ ? 
(which is the same except whitespace for content originally at 
http://www.tei-c.org/P4X/DTD/ and now at 
http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P4/xml/schema/dtd/ ) Do we leave these files 
there so they can be directly found as targets of the P4 DTD (typically 
invoked as http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/DTD/tei2.dtd), or do we put 
in permanent redirects to the Vault location?

B) What do we do about 
http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/Lite/DTD/ ? The URL that 
is used for the P4 TEI Lite DTD in oXygen and no doubt elsewhere points 
to http://www.tei-c.org/Lite/DTD/teixlite.dtd , which in turn redirects 
to http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/Lite/DTD/teixlite.dtd .

C) The link at http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/ for P4 now points to the 
Vault. Any objections to removing mention of P4 from this page entirely 
(since it's no longer supported)?

D) James has suggested adding a note at the top of 
http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/P4/doc/html/index.html – or to all HTML files 
– noting that P4 is no longer supported. Kevin notes that we didn't 
attempt to do this with P1, P2, and P3 as far as I know, and I don't 
think it's worth the effort for P4. People who are using it already know 
it's not current, and the fact that 'Vault/' is now in the URL should 
clue them in if they've somehow had their head in the ground for the 
past five years.
