On that page, clicking the link is a request to upload the file, not
download it. Ian made a copy of the zip at

I’m the author of the material that appears at …/wiki/Interfaces/JTask. It’s 
from 2009 and seemed to be of use to some at the time. Since then I’ve been 
working on other things. Complaints, kudos et al probably went to my old email 
address mikepow...@shaw.ca . Which I haven’t read 
(or been able to read) for some years now. I should have updated that.

But, I’m willing to revisit this. A good starting point would be to know why 
this looks like a candidate to be discarded.

I tried downloading the referenced zip file but it asked that I log in first. 
(Why?) I appear to have lost my record of my credentials and was unable to log 
in. Perhaps someone, could guide me here. Help, please.

Re: [Jgeneral] Update on this week's wiki work

The best solution, if possible, would be to add a header to the page in 
question that points to updated alternatives, or warning that it is related to 
an outdated version of J.

Hi everyone,

A quick update on some of the progress that we have made this week on 
identifying some of the candidates for archiving on the current wiki, but first 
a note on what archiving actually means. When a page is archived it is only 
seen by administrators. This means that it can be retrieved if it is required, 
but would not be found in any standard search. For most people the page will 
have effectively disappeared and because of this  we would like you to take a 
look at the following pages and let us know if there is a reason that you 
believe that they should be kept available in the regular wiki. Many of them 
would be useful if they were updated and then the question is whether it is 
worthwhile to update them. 

So the choice is yours, if we hear nothing about keeping these pages, in a few 
weeks they will go away. Next week there will be a few more pages to review as 
the Wiki Updating Project continues and our group of wiki workers explores the 
site. If you would like to join us and be part of this development let us know, 
we would be glad to have you. All correspondence on this topic should be done 
on the general forum.

All of the pages for this group were written for J602
J6/Grid  an efficient spreadsheet control for J
JDB  an earlier version of Jd
J6/OpenGL a 3D graphics API
J6/Project Manager application IDE and build system
J6/Splitter a splitter control for J
J6/Treeview a treeview control for J

These are a bit more of a miscellaneous group.
