hi, John. We will not lose any historical content in the move. Not to worry. I am just asking for people to use this as an opportunity to take stock of their stuff. > The trademark and > branding stuff is a good example - a project that generated > considerable traffic and angst, but is now "complete" - if it falls > under your "abandoned" umbrella, it might go poof - never to be seen > again. That project generated real content (a policy). It`s not abandoned. And it will be moved as is. I see clean pages. I see leaders still involved in the community. The list isn`t active at the moment, true, but that`s because that project`s work is done for now (presumably). Now, had I looked and viewed an empty space with no leaders or leaders who have left the community and no results from the project being open for a year and no association to an Community Group, then I could come to another conclusion. And I think that would be reasonable. I am just looking for the obvious examples where we can trim. > And, that would be a shame... > > Yes, there are many examples of trash - empty things that never got > started.

Never suggested otherwise. I think we are on the same page. :) Jim -- opensolaris.org transition: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/web/
