2011/02/08 #1: Repository Reorganisation

Summary

The incubator module in SVN has, on the whole, been quite successful, but the range of development statuses is problematic. I propose that we split incubator into 'incubator' and 'staging'

In Detail

TRUNK: would contain pairs in "release" and "[alpha|pre]-release" status an no pair without a release.

STAGING: would contain pairs that builds and have an advanced status

of all modules (dictionaries with closed cathegories and a decent coverage, an "ad hoc" PoS tagset and .prob, good coverage of main contrastive phenomena, testvoc clean, and a post-generator if needed). There should be a "PROBLEMS" file saying, IMO, status and major problems found while reading translations done with this pair (so, not a complete evaluation but a general compilation of big problems detected at the output). That could be a middle solution between Fran and Jim point of view. Would [Alpha|Pre]-releases also be allowed for pairs in staging?

NURSERY: would contain pairs that build but that have not been developed deeply or maybe data copied from other pairs that needs work or very poor data on some modules, etc.

INCUBATOR: would contain pairs with pieces of translators
