Those old guidelines were seriously out of date and were desperately in need of a refresh. We have also been wanting to move the guidelines off the public wiki for (literally) years. I'm only embarrassed that it took me so long to get around to it. :) > And all of the links to her > work are now broken and point at this page.

All the assets from that page were moved to an archive section [1] in cloud.gnome.org. You can also still see the history of that page [2]. > We are losing collected collective wisdom at al alarming rate in the > GNOME project as people (like myself) become less active and old wiki > pages get deleted wholesale as we move to new infrastructure and the > content gets "refreshed". > > I don't think this is a good thing, but if it's a conscious decision > that's one thing.

We know that outdated material on the wiki is a serious problem, particularly for new contributors. I think it's great that things are getting updated and cleaned out. Valuable material shouldn't be discarded in the process, of course, but I know I've made an effort to save anything that looks like it needs saving.
