Wiki pages review -Diff-
The plan is to review all the current pages in the wiki, removing 'junk' pages, and trying to fix and update the valid ones.
Because we can't delete files from the wiki, for now we can just list them under the TO DELETE list.
Here is the full list of pages in the wiki as of now, generated with the following command:
Local cd /mnt/wiki/; ls -Q | awk '{ print " * [" $1 "]"}'
Take one by one, review if it has any errors or it's obviously outdated, if you are fairly sure that a page is correct, add it to the list REVIEWED and include the date and your name after it; if the updates required are too big to take care of right now, add it to the FIXME list, with a short comment about what you think needs updating, your name and date.
If the page is obviously garbage add it to the GARBAGE list with date and name; and if while it's not obvious garbage, you still think that the page should probably be deleted(eg., has been obsoleted by another page), add it to the TO DELETE list with a comment, name and date.

FIXME
this is more a question than a review. isn't it true that plan9 under vmware no longer works, and people are encouraged to use xen or qemu? if so, these two pages should be buried under old_wiki_pages rather than encouraging futile attempts by newcomers. if you don't agree, please delete this text and move the pages back to the TODO section.
No, I use a current version of Plan 9 regularly under VMware server. There are slight problems, but it is workable. Lucio De Re - March 1st, 2008.
TO DELETE
Pages that either can't be opened in acme or the web interface, that have been replaced, are failed tests, and other junk (should be self-evident by trying to visit them):
- idiots - We all already know this... - uriel - 20-03-2005
- index.html - same as idiots but this is confusing as some people thinks it's the main wiki page - uriel - 20-03-2005
- rfc9p1 never took off? -mjl - 26-03-2005
- rfc9p2000 never took off? -mjl - 26-03-2005
- rfc9p2000.u never took off? -mjl - 26-03-2005
- rfc never took off? -uriel- 21-12-2005
- the plan 9 web server - doesn't work - soul9 - 03-03-2008
- the plan 9 web server httpd(8) has some interesting features. it - what the heck is this anyways? - soul9 - 03-03-2008
- test2 - weird stuff - soul9 - 03-03-2008
- test page - some test - soul9 - 03-03-2008
uriel explained the need for the following pages, so my objections are removed. i leave it to his judgement what to do with them.
- plan_9_documentation
- intro_to_tools_philosophy_for_*nix_users
- background
- summary_of_the_plan_9_development_environment
- softwaretools
- plan_9_related_publications
- twente9con_2004 maybe move to old_wiki_pages rather than delete, but it doesn't look to be of any interest to the general public. twente9con_2004_report is much more interesting.
TO RENAME
(random newbie being picky)
- recomended_readings -> recommended_reading
- video_drivers_development -> video_driver_development
GARBAGE
- sandbox_two
- test2
- new blank page. at least needs some text describing intended use. probably better to trash.
- bleepbybloop
- test page
- testtest
- avoiding_screen_pollution_from_kernel_messges typo in title, proper article is at avoiding_screen_pollution_from_kernel_messages
