If nobody shouts soon I'll make the changes I outlined in my original email (pasted below for reference) with the exception of the items pointed out by Dan above.
Again - we can always add any of these pages back later if we want. I just want to get rid of as much stuff that is blatantly out of date... Cheers, David ---- Original mail: Hi all, I had a quick browse through the Aries website and noticed that there are quite a number of outdated pages. In some cases it was easy to update the pages to more recent info (e.g. for the latest OSGi specs) but in other cases I would propose the simply remove the outdated information. If someone has the time to provide a replacement this can then be done later. Here's what I found: Documentation * Programming Model: The Application model has since been superseded by the standardised Subsystems. Proposal: remove Application bullets. * Pointers to OSGi specs: I updated these to point to R5 (was 4.2). * Javadoc: this incomplete lists of modules points at old versions (0.3). I would propose to delete this page as this info is available in the published javadoc maven artefacts. Downloads * This page was last updated for the 1.0.0 release train and I wonder whether we need it. All this info is available in Maven Central, can we not simply remove it? * Release notes. Since we are now supporting modular releases, do central release notes make sense? I would simply remove this page. * Archived releases - again, can we simply leverage Maven central for this? Community * Aries group blog - hasn't been active since 2010. Should we remove this link from the menu? I don't really have the time to completely polish up the website but I would be happy to make the above changes to ensure that the obsolete info is gone. Thoughts anyone? Cheers, David
