Hi Jacques This is an interesting idea and it might have been good to start a new thread as it has digressed a little off topic again :-)
In theory I agree that we do need to do some tidy up and consolidating into 2 spaces sounds like it could work well. We just need to see how to merge the data from the existing spaces and also add a good navigation system so that people can find things easily. Back to original topic â I don't think that we can consolidate all the marketing information into a restricted space mainly because I think we will need to allow for the ability for any contributor to add new papers and presentations. As a first step though â we could remove the wiki page and move the data to the project admin space for now and see how that works.
