Besides that method, which was a way also for me to find interesting and
relevant links, most of the pages I've come across result from web surfing.
Much like eating cherries, when you pull one you end up with others stuck
together.

I'm not quite sure I manage to understand your view on this, Geoff. Do you
think that this might have been counter-productive?

Well, the way I see it each case is unique. It will always depend on the
accuracy and relevancy of the page' content.
Even though the page is older than 18 months, its content might still ve up
to date. I think that will always be a case of evaluating the merit of each
one.

Also for example are not supported pages go to 2B reviewed or are they

IMHO, I think that's the sort of issue that falls rather more on the hands
of the Ubuntu Documentation Project Team. I think they already are holding
a discussion related what should be the destiny of the pages that fall
under that category. You can see it here:

I do not consider that I have contributed much more than this summary.

I beg to differ on this, Geogg. The scope of your contributions is way
larger then this modest sumary.

I'm one blame for this Geoff, and I do apologize for that. In my defense I
can only say that it completely split my mind among the several other tasks
I'm doing related to the fact of my ingress in the Xubuntu team and my
professional job.
Can I ask you please to remind me your suggestion?

Cheers,
David
