IMO, the following are essential tutorials.
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Studio/Building_Applications
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Studio/Application_Distribution_-_Installer
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/J_CSharp
If they have up-to-date replacements, I do not find them.
The single introduction to projects I can find is
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Folders_and_Projects
but we need a more basic tuto such as Building_Applications.
The guide on CSharp is useful to users already familiar with the
building of GUI interfaces in CSharp. A nice selling point. A friend
(now deceased) did that a decade ago; is it obsolete now?
Thus updating the above tutos is highly desirable.

I believe that these kinds of actions should include a "statement of
purpose". Is it because we think that these pages are irrelevant
and/or confusing and wish to emphasize different content?
At the moment, I am thinking particularly of
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Stories/JohnHowland here.
The primary link from that page is a dead link BUT
https://web.archive.org/web/20200530164107/http://www.cs.trinity.edu/About/The_Courses/cs301/
(for example) is currently still valid. (It might fail at some point
in the future, if some people make analogous decisions). And, that
web archive page starts off with a bunch of content that is probably
irrelevant to us, but if you scroll down to the bottom, there's still
copies of many (perhaps most? all?) of his course notes for cs201 with
both J and Scheme copies of his course notes in webarchive.
Removing the references would make this even more difficult to find.
So it might make sense to update the link to point into webarchive
(with a suggestion to scroll to the bottom) rather than deleting that
page. It also might make sense to capture a copy of his course notes
from that site and repost them in the archive (along with a disclaimer
to guard against the slight chance that this decision might eventually
become contentious).
But, without a statement of purpose, it's difficult to reason about
these kinds of issues.
I am also hesitant about the LAPACK page, for similar reasons.
Thanks,
