Current Status: 1. Keep it: +1 (Edy), +0.5 (Marius), +0.5 (GD) 1.A and mark it as hidden: 1.B and move it to Dashboard: (Edy), (Marius), (GD) 1.C and change the text: (Marius), (GD) 2. Remove it: +0.5 (Marius), +1 (Vincent) Some questions: a. Do we have a procedure for deleting pages from l10n? a way to retire them? (some property in l10n + removal from the release script = [2]) b. Do we have a procedure when the translations of a page change path? (like moving from Main space to Dashboard space = [1.B]) c. Do we have a procedure for deprecating the whole content of a page? (let's say we don't do the move, we keep it in Main, how do we mark that the whole content is changed in English, but needs to be updated in the other languages? = [1.C]) Thanks, Caty > > For me we should definitely not have some welcome message in the Dashboard > app anymore.
