doc/forum/ever-growing_list_of_pages.mdwn



What is overyone's idea about the ever-growing list of pages in bugs/ etc.?
Once linked to done, they're removed from the rendered [[bugs]] page -- but
they're still present in the repository.
Shouldn't there be some clean-up at some point for those that have been
resolved?  Or should all of them be kept online forever?
Likewise, for example in [[forum/ikiwiki__39__s_notion_of_time]], should one
remove the text about the implementation bug that has been fixed, or should it
stay there, for reference?

To answer a question with a question, what harm does having the done bugs
around cause? At some point in the future perhaps the number of done pages
will be large enough to be a time or space concern. Do you think we've
reached a point now? One advantage of having them around is that people
running older versions of the Ikiwiki software may find the page explaining
that the bug is fixed if they perform a search. -- [[Jon]]


I like to keep old bugs around. OTOH, I have no problem with cleaning up
obsolete stuff in the forum, tips, etc. --[[Joey]]
