Subject: Re: [xsl] Opinions, please. Keep entire archive or toss old? From: Geert Josten <Geert.Josten@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 09:18:29 +0200 |
Friends --
I have recently received two apparently unrelated requests to remove the first several years of the XSL-List archive from the server.
Both were from people who seemed to be embarrassed that they had asked beginner questions and wanted to be known for their more advanced contributions. One also implied that since the practice of XSL has changed over the years the older postings are misleading.
My personal inclination is to reject the requests, and the premise behind them. We all start every new technology as beginners, and those of us who know many things were beginners man ytimes.That'snot something to be embarrassed about, in my opinion. I also do not see that the practice of XSL has really matured that dramatically; people are still asking many of the questions we were discussing in 1998.
But before making such a decision, I thought I'd ask the list for your opinions. (I would be willing to lop off the first few years if we really don't want them; I am not willing to edit the archive in any more manual or judgement-based way. I will not, for example, remove postings by people who don't want their names in the archive.)
So, what do you think?
