Cleaning up

central repositories and revisions

Finally able to organize things now instead of fighting daily fires.

• Move projects, templates, documents and articles to central svn repo
• Move config files to svn repo
  
• Reference docs to online versions, pull down/update (if in repo) as needed
• liberally delete emails
• if important short term info calendar, appointments, address -> PDA then delete
  
• if archived online (such as mailing list), make tomboy note and add online link to note then delete
  
• if it's an important link, tag it to delicious then delete
  
• if document attached, copy to project svn repo, make note + link and delete
• if casual conversation, once it ends.. delete entire thread
• if thread is important such as agreement, archive it into a folder which can be subscribed as needed, add link to note.

Of course similar things will have to be done at organizational level, so a central repo is even more important and the desktop scenario here will be replaced with a central portal with similar features such as that provided by Plone.

It's an ongoing process, but it will help me find things quicker and be aware of which things are backed up and where to retrieve them easily.
