I have two ideas for Drupal modules a couple of years ago and immediately reserved the namespace for them at http://drupal.org/project/ariel and http://drupal.org/project/caliban.
I've only just been reminded of these projects, and I now don't have the time to develop the ideas or write the code. How can I got about getting the projects removed from Drupal.org (http://Drupal.org)?
Oh, so we don't *need* to use the webmaster's issue queue after all. ;) -- Joel Farris Transparatech.com "There are no mysteries here." On Apr 17, 2012, at 6:20 AM, Robin Monks wrote:

Incorrect. You DO need to use the webmaster queue. Somebody did this outside of the normal process. We also normally don't delete content from Drupal.org, instead preferring to unpublish it or assign it to Abandoned Modules so that somebody else can inherit it. -- Cameron Eagans http://cweagans.net On Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 11:37, Joel Farris <joel@transparatech.com> wrote:

Yeah; I got a bit too helpful; apparently there is one care where there is a reason to the steps (namely preventing account spoofing). Although, I still don't see the argument in not deleted totally empty projects; which there are a decent amount of. If there's code, sure, save it. If it's empty, someone else can make a new project anyways so there's no loss. /Robin -- Robin Monks Developer of spiffy things. http://robinmonks.com On Tuesday, 17 April, 2012 at 3:18 PM, Greg Knaddison wrote:

In my mind, I just had a scenario play out wherein someone covets their project name, while their nemesis plots stealing it. Taking the name is an important first step for a project. I can see why the policy is in place.

Note: if the project in question is a sandbox project, you're free to delete it yourself if it's empty or obsolete, without any intervention from the webmasters or infra team. When you do this, the Git repo for the sandbox, and *all* related content (e.g. issues) will also be deleted. The hope is that you're not going to delete a sandbox project that still has a bunch of useful issues. In that case, the intention is that you're going to move those issues to a more appropriate queue first (e.g. back into the issue queue for the parent project). See https://drupal.org/node/1077884 for more. Cheers, -Derek (dww)
