[dev] Proposal: deprecate Orator

[Roel Gloudemans]

Nope, but give it a decent burial ;-)

Quoting Chuck Hagenbuch <chuck at horde.org>:

> I'd like to propose that we officially kill off the Orator
> applications. There are several reasons for this:
>
> - I've found S5: http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/. This provides
> almost the exact same feature set that Orator does with only XHTML,
> CSS, and a little JavaScript. The only other feature is MIME_Viewer
> support, but that doesn't seem like such a huge thing since we can as
> easily include static content in presentations.
>
> - Presentations don't really fit with any of our strengths. We could as
> well manage S5 files with Giapeto, Gollem, etc.
>
> - This will be the first email to the orator list in almost exactly two
> years. :)
>
> - Narrowing our focus, even just a little, seems like a good thing.
>
> Any objections? I'd be willing to script a conversion of all of the
> existing Horde presentations into S5 format before retiring the code
> from CVS (it'll be archived of course).
