Volo has content that might still be useful. The design document in
particular might be helpful for anyone trying to understand the code.
I can see some of the historical information in iscsitgt could be
helpful too -- they have a getting started document, for example. (As
well as a few files for download, and the discussions.)
pef has a whitepaper, as well as man pages, which might be worth keeping
around.
Even the items on the first list seem to have potentially useful info.
The DHPv6 client has design docs.
Tunnel Reform project has a design document and links to code reviews,
which can be helpful.
I'm going to come right out and say that I think we need to avoid
blithely removing projects. Even if the original team feels that the
information is not needed for their own work anymore, someone else might
find such information helpful.
Of course, for projects that never published anything meaningful, by all
means, prune 'em.
I think we need to ask for a "cheap" way to archive these older projects
in the new framework -- they don't need to be left in a "living" state
-- but if they could be published in a fixed/static manner, that would
be helpful.

Well, the Clearview IPMP component is long-since delivered, but I have
still been regularly updating the OpenSolaris project page with links to
TOIs and other materials that I have authored much more recently. Having
all of this stuff together in one place for a project rather than smeared
through a variety of internal and external repositories strikes me as
quite useful. I think as long as things are properly dated and context is
provided, having project pages remain after delivery has value.
Clearview wasn't on the lists I mentioned. As long as there's
something going on, and there's a reason to keep the page alive,
that's great, but it's off-topic, as it wasn't one of the ones that
anyone has suggested shutting down.
The ones I suggested for removal now were:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/dhcpv6-client/
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ethbridge/
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/network-sip/
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/quagga/
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/tref/
Others that should be up for debate (and that appear to be either dead
or now complete and thus unneeded) are:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/iscsitgt/
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/pef/
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/volo/
