As part of our XWiki Days we had a Deprecation Fixing Day on the 20th of February 2014. Its goal was to have the maximum number of XWiki committers and contributors work together to fix the maximum number of deprecation calls and moving deprecated APIs not used anymore to our Legacy modules.

We had 3 committers participating with the following results.

The Sonar Dashboard says we had 2057 deprecated calls. We fixed 64 deprecated calls which leads us to 1993 remaining deprecated calls.

But even more important we moved 30 deprecated API to Legacy which means nobody coding on the XWiki project will be able to use those APIs by errors from now on!

Thanks to everyone who participated!
