technical, yes, I can. But there are practical problems:

It is hardly possible to identify obsolete content 'in one piece', because that 
would amount to working as follows:

-read a piece of the Developersguide (e.g. one paragraph).
-knowing what is outdated and marking/updating it _or_ if you don't know 
immediately what is outdated, checking it by testing it

This way of working would take a lot of time.

It would be more practical to mark outdated things whenever _you_ discover them 
while using the Developersguide.
But this is a continuous process.

And there is, for me personally, a problem:
I work daily in the voluntary end user support (on 
users...@openoffice.apache.org and in the forum de.openoffice.info) and I work, 
since a long time, on the update of the German end user documentation - if I 
should update the Developersguide, I would have to give up this work, I don't 
think I want to give it up.
