After incubating this a bit, I think it is best if we first remove old
content from the existing site. After that, use Mikaels suggestion to move
the remaining valid data to the new website location where we can port
content to MD if required.

I have filed: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=572624

I will create individual Gerrits to get rid of old stuff and references
thereto.

Cheers,

Wim
