Not sure what these two more directories are? Currently documents/ has the following emeritus dirs: emeritus/ emeritus-rejoined/ emeritus-requests-received/ emeritus-requests-rescinded/ AIUI you were proposing to move all of these to be under the new directory: documents/Emeritus I think that's unnecessary, and will hardly reduce the coding needed. > Anyone else with a strong opinion here?
