When the kitsune code base was combined with the devmo code base, we inherited a lot of code that we're not using. That's both a maintenance issue and a potential security issue. We should spend some time cleaning that up, with this as the tracking blocker bug. For example, these apps are not in use as far as I can tell (there may be more): * chat, customercare, dashboards, forums, gallery, humans, inproduct, kadmin, kbforums, questions, twitter, upload I'd advise removing them entirely, along with any others not in use. We shouldn't hang on to them in the hopes they *might* be handy someday, because: * Kitsune's over a year older since we forked, and lots has been done since then that we should revisit * We might never use these some of these apps at all * Even if we want something like one of them, we should consider use cases and may come up with something entirely different. A caveat: there are likely dependencies on these apps in the apps that we *do* use, so removing them needs to go slowly and with a run of tests after each. This will be tedious work.

Oh, another thing of note: We have an app called `devmo` and another called `sumo`. The former was around before the Kitsune inheritance, and the latter came from Kitsune. They overlap in a lot of interesting and conflicting ways. They also serve a lot of the same purposes as the `funfactory` app from the Playdoh project. It would be useful to finally resolve the differences between `devmo` and `sumo` into one app, and/or possibly replace that app with `funfactory` so we can outsource some core improvements to the webdev team at large.

We > shouldn't hang on to them in the hopes they *might* be handy someday, > because: +100, with three possible exceptions: * `kadmin` is just a place to collect admin views (things that we plug into with AdminPlus) like /admin/settings and /admin/env. Those are generically useful, others may not be. Since Kuma starts with a 'k', I'd say keep it and just change kadmin.admin as you need to. * `kbforums` is the discussion-forum-per-article app. If you don't need the feature, drop it like a bad habit. * `upload` contains a lot of utility stuff for uploading files. It can probably be done better or superseded by newer stuff in Django, and maybe MDN has wildly different requirements, but it's worth a little more consideration.

Les, I think this shouldn't be in the Editing buckets. Moving to MDN/General

Is this bug still outstanding? Looks like all but 2 of the apps listed in comment 0 are gone, and one of those has recently been moved.

Still relevant if for no other reason than to combine 'devmo' and 'sumo' apps as mentioned in comment 1.
