Yes but I suspect a lot of information in there is out of sync, being
duplicated in LDAP, in the YAML files that you mention for Whimsy etc.

I'm +1 on keeping that content around for historical purposes but I
suspect it its not very useful for our current workflows.

As an example: 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/projects/netbeans.xml
- I'm a mentor so in theory I should keep that file in sync with
reality but I don't think that brings any value. All that information
is available from more reliable sources, LDAP etc.

+1

I have created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INCUBATOR-231 to
track this general "website cleanup" effort, I suggest that we note
additional findings there.
