Where did old Tasks go? [was Re: git.cyrus.foundation deprecated]

Hi Nic,



For what it's worth, most of the really earlier Maniphest tasks were
mostly about 'finish documenting this thing'.


Oh, here we are, out of my archive of email. T16 was titled "T16: Cyrus
IMAP 2.5 frontends and UID MOVE support on 2.4 backends"
Jeroen made a related commit into phabricator at the time (March 14):
rIa412ffd97b26


Removing the rI prefix to translate to github

So it looks like the release notes going to 2.5 need to understand the
implications of using the dot separator. Please go ahead and update the
release notes for 2.5.X accordingly!


Of course, if you're going to move to the (soon to be released) 3.0, we
ditch netnews in favour of unixhs anyway. (Now more fully documented
http://cyrusimap.org/dev/imap/concepts/features/namespaces.html)


But we do need to check that the docs don't contain any more references
to poor Phabricator as it's now defunct. Long may it RIP.


   Nicola
