  |I am going to commence reducing FGDATA this weekend. The reasons for that<br/>
action have been discussed here and on the forum in epic detail, so I won't<br/>
repeat them.<br/>
<br/>
The result will be a new and much smaller git repository and it will only<br/>
have the c172p and the ufo remaining.<br/>
<br/>
To avoid any unnecessary extra work, I will temporarily remove all<br/>
contributors with write access except 2 or three admins on Friday afternoon<br/>
(Central European Time Zone).<br/>

  |Next, I'll do a initial commit of the base package aircraft to fgaddon/svn.<br/>
Following that, I create a new git repo for a smaller git fgdata and push<br/>
it to sourceforge.<br/>
Finally, we re-add contributors with push permission.<br/>
<br/>
If anything goes wrong, the original fgdata will remain intact and can<br/>
serve as a fallback.

Creating a customized, mini version of FlightGear is not all that difficult, really - because it mostly means to remove anything that you don't need.
