The software is unmaintained, and the website template is next to |
| 19 |
unmaintainable. I could go on a bit more about this, but I think these |
| 20 |
two points *alone* justify moving away from it. |

No, I described multiple points. Again: |
| 28 |
- Less contents on www.g.o -> we can much more easily relaunch it |
| 29 |
- Users can more easily contribute to project documentation |
| 30 |
- Update/purge project documentation |
| 31 |
- Remove orphaned projects |
| 32 |

In case it wasn't clear enough yet: This is step 1 of n to get rid of |
| 40 |
gorg and GuideXML for the website (read: not main docs) aspects of Gentoo. |
| 41 |
Running two project page venues increases maintenance instead of |
| 42 |
lowering it. I intend to have less work after this change, not more. |

Do you have any concerns beyond 'never change a running system'? |
