Problem/Motivation

The the old site building guide. It contains a lot of documentation for pre Drupal 7 modules. And possible themes and distributions.

Proposed resolution

Delete the documentation.

Title: Delete documenation for for modules and themes without a D7 release » Delete documention for modules and themes without a D7 release

There isn't any comment agreeing or disagreeing with this idea. Anyone have another idea for such documention?

I agree on deleting the documentation for projects without a Drupal 7 release.

I do not see any value in having documentation for projects that stopped to be developed time ago. Porting that documentation to the new documentation guides is probably not worth the time spent in doing it.

@avpaderno I am happy to work on this ticket. Some questions about how to proceed:

These themes do not have D7 releases. Should I actually delete the pages completely?
https://www.drupal.org/node/418326
https://www.drupal.org/node/921400

When I try to edit those pages there is no option to delete.

There is a page status, and we could change that to deprecated?

Also, what about deprecated themes, should we also remove?

Will there be another step to remove the menu items on the site building guide?

Thanks!

@wylbur You do not have the necessary permission to delete book nodes you did not create.

We are still deciding what to do, though. A single comment that agrees on deleting those pages is probably not sufficient.
