I'm not sure. The stuff I am reasonably sure about I moved to
/home/jinty/backup:

    * /home/ftp/pub/schooltool/archives
    * /home/ftp/pub/schooltool/translation-templates
    * /home/ftp/pub/schoolbell
    * /home/ftp/pub/schooltool/live-cd

Let's see if anyone complains.

The rest, I have no idea:

    root at tigris:/home/jinty # ls /home/ftp/pub/*
    /home/ftp/pub/cando:
    releases

    /home/ftp/pub/schooltool:
    buildout  eggs  releases  schooltool2007-buildout.tgz  setup-scripts

    /home/ftp/pub/snapshots:
    cando-20080606.tar.gz  cando-20080609.tar.gz  cando-20080612.tar.gz       schooltool-20080608.tar.gz  schooltool-20080611.tar.gz
    cando-20080607.tar.gz  cando-20080610.tar.gz  schooltool-20080606.tar.gz  schooltool-20080609.tar.gz  schooltool-20080612.tar.gz
    cando-20080608.tar.gz  cando-20080611.tar.gz  schooltool-20080607.tar.gz  schooltool-20080610.tar.gz
