Re: [xdi] work on wiki..

[Drummond Reed <drummond.reed@xdi.org>]

Markus, I agree with your last cleanup step with one proposed change: I think we should keep CategoryInactive because it applies only to inactive proposals, not to all wiki pages, and just since yesterday when I did the refactoring I have already found the CategoryInactive page very handy to keep a list of proposals that are marked inactive.

If so, then the final cleanup steps would be:

1. Delete CategoryObsolete
2. Create a new page ArchivedPages and add it to the table at the bottom of the table on the Frontpage.
3. Move all out-of-date pages off the front page to the ArchivedPages page.

How does that sound?

I think this is good now, very clean.

There is still some redundancy regarding obsolete/inactive/archived
pages I think:

- There is CategoryObsolete with 1 page in it:
https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/CategoryObsolete

- There is CategoryInactive with 15 pages in it:
https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/CategoryInactive

- There is a list of "Archived Pages" on the FrontPage:
https://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/FrontPage

I think I would propose the following:
- Delete CategoryObsolete and CategoryInactive
- Create a new page "Archived Pages"
- Move everything from CategoryObsolete, CategoryInactive, and the
archived pages from the FrontPage to the new "Archived Pages" page.
