Leaving inactive projects around strikes me as wrong as well. :-/ > Until there's an > archive feature, can you create an archive directory and move the pages > there?

Before sending in a request to kill off any of them, I'll make sure that any files associated with them are either in ARC archives or are just transferred to the networking community. In general, I've looked at these projects, and there really isn't much there but stale reminders of milestones long past. Transferring the pages themselves would mostly defeat the purpose. These pages don't have much in the way of useful content for any current participant (it's unhelpful to know that some obscure project integrated 50+ builds ago), so I'd rather just see 'em die. If there are any useful pages on the _first_ of the two lists I gave that you think shouldn't die right now, then speak up for them. (I won't kill the second list right now, unless I get some affirmative votes to include them.) For any other archeological expedition, I recommend the WayBackMachine at www.archive.org. We should probably have an "internal design documentation" repository, but setting that up properly (with some structure rather than as just a pile-o-files) is a project for another day. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
