Do you necessarily expect the replacement page to have all the information from the old pages, old though it might be? The reason why I didn't feel you were giving a process to delete pages is because you said we should keep information from very outdated versions of Ubuntu in the off chance that they might help someone somewhere. So I want to have this clear. Do you oppose deleting information about ancient releases of Ubuntu? Do you oppose deleting information about small minority distributions such as Gentoo? In light of P.Kishor's efforts to update the Mac OS X page, I would like to modify my proposal to this: 1) Delete all the *Linux*-specific install pages and replace them with a single install page for all Linux. This page may have information about specific distributions if it seems appropriate. In fact, it could even be divided by distribution if that seems appropriate. 2) Delete the page titled "Installing PDL the quick and easy way". Instead, edit the wiki main page and put direct link to all the install pages on the wiki. Now there are only four: - Installing PDL on Linux. - Installing PDL on Windows. - Installing PDL on Mac OS X. - Installing PDL Manually. I hope you'll agree that this is much better organized than what we have today. I can volunteer to write the "Installing PDL on Linux" page, but it would be short. I would copy little content from the outdated Linux pages. How does that sound?
