There are a bunch of old MapGuide links there that were migrated to our Trac, and could be deleted. I can either mark these as deleted, or if someone gives me appropriate rights on the wiki, delete them myself.

I consider it a bug if a valid category isn't sufficient to get a page not be marked as orphaned. Making artificial links elsewhere doesn't make sense to me - any opinion how to deal with this phenomenon? Markus, I think the point is that there is no way to navigate to that page. It's fine if an external site links to it because it is a valid page. I think the point is that maybe we should have a page like "OSGeo Events" off the front page that then links to say a past events page and collects all the pages about past events. This has the benefit that: 1) if I don't know the URL, but I'm searching for events I might find it 2) search engines that start at the front page will index it etc -Steve W ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There should be 0 pages removed from this process, and when in doubt about a link, just leave it for someone else who knows that topic.
