Subject: Re: Policy to deal with old web content - Archiving pages?

Maybe we should send pointers to these collections of pages
to dev@ and
judge case by case what to do.

I don't think that will bring good results.

Is there any problem to archive all pages? If so, which one?

Why do I say (ask) this?
Because, if we pick out only certain pages, the amount of work to distinguish 
important pages from unimportant pages is huge and errors can creep in very 
easily, and thus the loss of important pages.

right, and here you have misunderstood me. ;-)

Of course where it's clear just move it to the archive. This should be the general way and process.

But there will be pages - or collection of pages - where it's not clear. Here we can judge case by case. Of course these shouldn't be many.

These pages are outdated in parts, but still there is no
more current information.


We don't need a super solution, we just need a reliable(!)
archive for previous web and wiki pages, i.e. an archive of
which we are sure that it includes all previous content.

Of course, an 'intelligent' search engine tagging would be
a nice-to-have, but I wouldn't really want to spend time on
that, especially since, as I just described with an example,
it's difficult to clearly tell which pages are really outdated.

Much easier, and imho functionally sufficient, would be a
footer on each archive page informing that this is an archive
page plus a link to the start page (web and wiki) of the
current pages.

The footer is only visible when you scroll comletely down. But many
pages are longer and the searched information is maybe not
far away from
the top. Then you don't notice that the content is outdated.

I don't recomemnd to put it in the footer. Having it on top
is more helpful.

very gladly we can write the information alternatively in the header!

(Or do you think I want to discuss whether header or footer? I don't care, any 
pragmatic solution is welcome.)
