No one is trashing projects left and right. No one is losing data. We're not discussing future developers, etc. If you have any technical approaches with the current approach, or if there is some existing content on the l10n site that you think should remain live on the website, then please speak up. Looking at Google Analytics data for the old l10n site, from August through September, I see the following total number of page hits (total for the two months, not total per day): Page,Pageviews /l10n/languages.html,1077 /l10n/download/en-GB.html,496 /l10n/index.html,255 /l10n/adding_language.html,156 /l10n/localization/translation.html,145 /l10n/localization/OpenOffice_Glossary.html,88 /l10n/localization/About_TCM.html,54 /l10n/localization/English_Russian_OOo_Glossary.html,47 /l10n/L10N_Framework/iso_code_build2.html,40 /l10n/i18n_framework/HowToAddEncoding.html,38 /l10n/all_supported_languages.html,35 /project/l10n/languages.html,33 /l10n/i18n_framework/Vertical_Writing_in_Calc.html,28 /l10n/i18n_framework/Vertical_writing_in_Writer.html,23 /l10n/how-to-join.html,20 /l10n/i18n_framework/LocaleData.html,19 /l10n/localization/L10n_testplan.html,19 /l10n/i18n_framework/Grid_layout_for_CJK.html,18 /l10n/localization/English_Greek_OOo_Glossary.html,18 /l10n/extract_merge.html,16 /l10n/irc-channel.html,11 /l10n/L10N_Framework/How_to_localize_and_build_OpenOffice.html,10 /l10n/L10N_Framework/Intermediate_file_format.html,10 /l10n/i18n_framework/CTL_Feature_Priorisation.html,8 /l10n/mailing-lists.html,8 /l10n/localization/Translation_Tips.html,7 /l10n/i18n_framework/HowToAddLocaleInI18n.html,6 /l10n/localization/L10n_pilotprocess.html,6 /l10n/localization/English_Serbian_OOo_Glossary.html,5 So there is some things getting traffic, although some of these same pages are far out of date. For example, the en-GB download page is pointing to an ancient 2.02 version of OOo. Since in many cases there are external links to these pages, I'd recommend a bulk move to an /archive directory. If the content is worth keeping, it is worth keeping in the same location, and worth keeping up to date. Otherwise we should delete and know that Subversion has a copy for archival purposes. And if a page has been superseded by a new page, we should keep the same HTML page name, so external links will automatically point to the updated content. -Rob
