Benefits:
Get up-to-date project webpages

Requirements: -

GNOME hosts many different projects and their project webpages. As some
projects miss manpower, it's more likely that people put their power into
writing code instead of updating webpages. Read through the project
webpages and make a list of issues that are wrong, obsolete, or out-dated.

Links:
http://www.gnome.org/projects and its subpages

How detailed should i be getting for these sites? Am I looking for a general lack of
negligence, and just reporting that, or should i be citing specific examples? Here's
an example of the format and detail I am doing at the moment:

Project: Anjuta
Status: Good Condition
Last Update: November 2, 2007
Issues:
A. On the Hacking page(http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/hacking)
1.Under Resources, the CVS snapshots link either no longer exists(moved elsewhere?)
or is broken.(http://www.anjuta.org/cvs/)
2. Under Messages and Translations, the GNOME Style Guide link does not
exist(http://developer.gnome.org/documents/style-guide/)

there are other sites with many more problems, which ive documented with letters(for
the page), and then numbers(for the problem) in an outline type of view. 

Is this a good start?

rabid9797: that's a pvery good start, and the detail level is perfect :)

hi, im not going to be able to finish this project in the alotted amount of time. My
isp(bellsouth) was having dns server issues all day yesterday, making it impossible
for me to get anything done. Also, ive been bogged down with a tonne of homework, and
i just don't have the time to finish this(in 7 days)

is it possible to get a time extension?

if not, i thank you for giving me the opportunity to work on this project, attatched
is what I was able to get done.

how much additional time do you need? if it's less than 7 days, it's not a problem.
Comment 11 by rabid9797, Dec 05, 2007
about 4 days would probably be enough. can it start from this post?(thanks by the
way, and im sorry for the delay)
Comment 12 by andre.klapper, Dec 05, 2007
sure, if the delay does not become more.
Comment 13 by andre.klapper, Dec 11, 2007

Comment 14 by andre.klapper, Dec 15, 2007

Here is a list of dead links on the GNOME projects site.  It was generated by the
checklink perl module (and trimmed down somewhat).  Note that the lines which say "To
do: You should update the link." redirect ok, and don't have to be changed.

Next I'll move on to checking the pages that link ok for accuracy.

Sorry, I am not going to be able to finish this task.  My PreCalculus teacher sprung
a huge test on us, and I need time to study.  The dead links are above, good luck to
whoever takes the task next.

@jesseblehman, what a pity. Re-opening then.

I am currently appending to the (excellent) work of rabid, but since I know I will
not be able to complete this task any time soon (with finals and christmas), I will
not claim it. But when I am done or someone does make the claim, I will be happy to
upload my progress.  
Comment 21 by element3260, Dec 18, 2007

thanks! If its not too much trouble, would u mind emailing me when/if some changes to
the projects page get made? I'd love to know that my contribution was actually useful
Comment 26 by andre.klapper, Sep 28, 2008
Hej hej element3260,
Urgh, the bad things about Open Source projects is that things take time... too much
time... :-/ Sorry for being quite late.
Mats Taraldsvik was kind enough to transfere your list into a wikipage at
http://live.gnome.org/ModuleMaintenanceWorkspaces/ProjectWebsiteStatus so it's easier
to update the status and say "I'm working on this".
Now next step is to attract folks to work on those issues...
