[rules-dev] [vote] Module drools-atom in limbo

[Michael Anstis]

Hi Geoffrey,

Being relatively new I can't comment on some of the specifics, but I
question the following:-

   - drools-assistant
   - drools-atom
   - drools-clips (I believe Mark did this on a rainy weekend, but don't
   know if it's still supported).
   - drools-container
   - drools-doc\drools-docs (which is actively used?!? Do we need both?)
   - drools-rhq-plugin
   - drools-simulator
   - install
   - src

I have thought for a long time I'd be good to have on the Wiki a summary of
what each project represents and what package (JAR) they bundle into.

Cheers,

Mike
