Docs Project Documentation Draft Documentation Docs Project Management? Docs Project SOP -> Docs Project Management Docs Project archives -> Archives Docs Project content tasks for experienced contributors Docs Project content tasks for new contributors Docs Project how to Docs Project meeting logs REMOVE Docs Project meetings Docs Project policies -> Docs Project Management Docs Project process -> ? Docs Project roles -> ? Docs Project tasks -> Docs Project ? Docs Project tools -> Docs Project ? Documentation CMS Option -> Archive Documentation Guide -> Docs Project how to Documentation beats Documentation tools -> Docs Project tools FDSCo -> ? Improving the Docs Project workflow -> ? Release Notes -> Draft Documentation SELinux Docs -> Archive? (Check with Radsy) Software Management Guide -> Archive? User Guide -> Archive Those are all the categories that are currently attached to Docs Project. If we can move stuff around here it might help clear out some of the noise. Maybe Ian can run Wikibot around to clean up this stuff, too. Some of these categories are empty, by the way. --Eric
