Unfortunately, those pages just exist -- those hundreds of projects projects might be inactive, they still have git repositories and wiki pages. We could more actively clean them up (and then yes, adjusting the corresponding Google juice), but (1) we don't really have any right to do so unless we get permission (which is hard to get from dead projects), and (2) that's a giganormous amount of maintenance work. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
