Description: ------------ After examining attachment 210868 [details] from bug 151557 and because Mozilla Developer Center has becomed more established, I believe and suggest we remove all the files in http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/html40/ and http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/xbdhtml/ Explanations: ------------- http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/html40/index.htm (start of the slides) and all http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/html40/* are about novelties in HTML 4. These slides were written as <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Mozilla/3.0Gold (Win95; I) [Netscape]"> http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/xbdhtml/index.htm is the start of the slides and discuss support for Navigator 4+ and Internet Explorer 3+ and Nav5+ Expected results: ----------------- 1- Mozilla.org should only keep http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/html40.zip (171 KB) http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/xbdhtml.zip (398 KB) and to keep these 2 files in an "archives" directory somewhere. 2- all other files (*.htm, *.js, *.txt, *.gif and sub-directories) from these 2 directories (codestock99/html40/ , codestock99/xbdhtml/) should be removed, deleted.

Err... The links should be http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/html40/index.htm and http://www.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/xbdhtml/index.htm
If we're keeping around the zip files, I don't see why we shouldn't keep them accessible as HTML as well. Slideshows are always dated, just like news articles. They reflect the status of whatever at the time the presentation was given. I wouldn't mind putting them in a slideshow archive though. I think mozilla.org could really use one of those in general -- some place everyone could contribute their Mozilla-related slide shows.

My reasoning was that the files are so outdated that they refer to non-existent references too: { All properties: http://style.webreview.com/mastergrid.html "Safe" properties: http://style.webreview.com/safegrid.html "Unsafe" properties: http://style.webreview.com/ http://developer.netscape.com/docs/examples/index.html?content=javascript/browser_type.html http://developer.netscape.com/docs/technote/index.html?content=dynhtml/csspapi/csspapi.html etc. } The codestock99/ slideshow examples and explanations specifically refer to NS4 and IE4, with code that is invalid code now, with non-W3C-compliant code, and some pages refer to problems with Nav2, Nav3, IE3+. > Slideshows are always dated, just like news > articles.

The zipping suggestion is just a safe compromise between entire codestock99/ file archiving and entire codestock99/file deletion. Anyways, whatever, the minimum would be to move them to some sort of archive/graveyard directory. I just hope mozilla.org can arrive to a coherent, consistent approach to outdated documents, not just codestock99/ files.

The whole directory was removed 2008-07-31 16:09 (and 16:10) PDT. Cursory review of http://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/codestock99/ shows it's still there in case anyone wants to resurrect parts for one of the wikis.

Jeremy, I'm happy that codestock99 has been removed from the normal, more usual www.mozilla.org and has been moved to www-archive.mozilla.org. I believe this is the consequence of actions taken in bug 446213. Nevertheless, Marking as VERIFIED
