Every single link on this page is broken.  Not a good look. Surely, we can find 
some replacements?

Broken Links on Website and Inactive Members

[Shawn McKinney]

Hello,

Broken links on a website are akin to a broken window in a building. Signs of 
disrepair, and worse, possible security hole.

My proposal is simple, fix them.  If it’s just wrong, change it.  If it’s no 
longer active, meaning the entity no longer exists, remove it altogether.

One of the biggest problems is the team page.  

Absent committers and pmc notwithstanding, many of the blog and website links 
are broken.

My proposal is to remove the links that don’t resolve on that page. Change it 
if there’s an obvious fix, or delete it otherwise.

I also believe we should start moving members into Emeritus status. Lets keep 
it simple for now.  If they haven’t been active in say the last 10 years, move 
them.  

I’m all for keeping up appearances and honoring past merit. But, there’s no 
point in listing people as active in our project, who’ve been gone for that 
long.

Thanks for the nice testimonial!

I just pushed it to the related page:

Hi team,

Thank you for all of your hard work. I noticed that the Apache Directory 
testimonials  are a 
little empty, so I spent some time to write one below:


As a developer, I first discovered the power of Apache Directory when 
seeking an efficient solution for managing directory services. Built on 
LDAP, this open-source directory server integrates seamlessly with 
Java-based applications and offers an intuitive configuration interface 
through Apache Directory Studio. Apache Directory's extensibility, 
performance, and security are standout features that keep me using it. 
With support for custom partition implementations, replication, and 
various authentication mechanisms, Apache Directory ensures high 
availability, fault tolerance, and security for mission-critical 
applications. It has become my top choice when I'm in need of a reliable 
and feature-rich directory service solution.

Kind Regards,

Mitch
