That's not quite the message I'm hearing. I haven't heard any objection
to removing abandoned project pages or project pages with no useful
content/links.
Garrett seems quite opposed. You also don't seem to agree with
removal. That leaves me either fighting an uphill battle for no
apparent reason, or just returning to more useful work.
I'm opposed to deleting the last reference to useful data! And I'm
opposed to deleting an "index" to that data that might be an easier way
to find it. ARC logs work well for those familiar with ARC, but for
many in the community it isn't the first place they'll look.
Since I'm stubborn, I'll try one final time. Can we pretty please get
back to the original proposal without wandering off into random
tangents, like IETF I-Ds?
For each one of these projects, is there _any_ reason to keep them
around? Please confine yourself to just this list. Don't comment on
the state of Clearview or other projects. Just this list.
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/
And for each one of these projects, should _any_ of them be on the
former list? That is, are any similarly useless to keep around?

(If you want, you can ignore dhcpv6-client. I was the only
contributor, I know the page is completely worthless, so I feel safe
in just nuking it now.)
I think you should ask the project teams. I certainly see what I
*think* is useful information in the 2nd list, but its possible that its
entirely worthless.
Btw, just because the i-team (e.g. for DHCPv6 that would be you) doesn't
need the information anymore doesn't automatically make the information
worthless. Even a project that is abandoned (e.g. due to resources) but
produced some content (design docs) might have future value (e.g. if
someone else decides they want to work on the abandoned effort.)
Frankly, we're spending to much time on this. We need to ask the XWiki
folks for a way to move the project from active to inactive state, so
that its contents can be archived without requiring a lot of additional
work on any individual's part.
