How do we avoid "losing history" as part of this transition?
However, there is no need to move... piles of abandoned content. If we can
delete that

It is exactly that "abandoned content" that is tomorrow's important
historical archives - and which is so easy to lose.
hi, John.
We will not lose any historical content in the move. Not to worry. I am
just asking for people to use this as an opportunity to take stock of
their stuff.
The trademark and
branding stuff is a good example - a project that generated
considerable traffic and angst, but is now "complete" - if it falls
under your "abandoned" umbrella, it might go poof - never to be seen
again.
That project generated real content (a policy). It`s not abandoned. And
it will be moved as is. I see clean pages. I see leaders still involved
in the community. The list isn`t active at the moment, true, but that`s
because that project`s work is done for now (presumably). Now, had I
looked and viewed an empty space with no leaders or leaders who have
left the community and no results from the project being open for a year
and no association to an Community Group, then I could come to another
conclusion. And I think that would be reasonable. I am just looking for
the obvious examples where we can trim.
And, that would be a shame...
Yes, there are many examples of trash - empty things that never got
started. By all means, garbage collect and shut down spam collectors
(ahem, forums and lists)! But please don't throw out valid - but
completed - projects as well.
Yep. Agree totally. Never suggested otherwise. I think we are on the
same page. :)
