Webmocks appears to be spaghetti?

[cheryl]

Webmocks I assume was originally some kind of drafts communication folder. It seems to have grown into far more than that, having images linked directly into there as well as much (presumed) clutter from previous years.

• How do we go about tidying it up? (Does anyone know?)
• Is it possible to move important graphics stuff into its own folder, reassigning links in the logic as we go?
• If not, what bits can we get rid of?

I think webmocks was at the beginning a playground for static htmls to have something for design decisions.

We made a mistake in symlinking those files we actually used, so it's now harder to see in Git what were design proposals and what was actual changes to the used design.

A shell oneliner shows which symlinks point to webmocks
find -type l | xargs ls -ld |grep webmocks

public/apple-touch-icon.png -> ../webmocks/graphics/v2/iconized.png
public/banner_at2.png -> ../webmocks/graphics/v2/without_text.png
public/blacktransparent.png -> ../webmocks/alt_design2/blacktransparent.png
public/divider.png -> ../webmocks/alt_design2/divider.png
public/favicon.ico -> ../webmocks/alt_design2/favicon.ico
public/menu-arrow.png -> ../webmocks/alt_design2/menu-arrow.png
public/scripts.js -> ../webmocks/alt_design2/scripts.js
public/vivid_divider.png -> ../webmocks/graphics/v2/smallerized.png
public/vivid_divider2.png -> ../webmocks/alt_design2/vivid2.png

Those symlinks could be deleted and the pngs copied into the public directory.

For that matter we could move the icons directory into public/ as well.

That sounds good.

Once all the symlinks to /webmocks have been moved to /public, which folders should be deleted? It might still be nice to keep a record of past logos, designs, etc - just perhaps the main versions rather than every single slightly different spacing (etc), and not multiple copies.
