It seems that there have been no talks since 2005. Last update was 17 months ago [2]. The obvious short term solution is to remove the link to the "talks" page on this page [0]. The obvious short term solution is to remove the link to the horribly outdated "talks" page, so that's in this wml [3]. [0]: http://www.debian.org/intro/help [1]: http://www.debian.org/events/talks [2]: http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/events/?root=webwml [3]: http://cvs.debian.org/webwml/english/intro/help.wml?rev=1.9&root=webwml&view=auto Can any DD do this trivial change? Or does this require a proposal on debian-www ? My point is that it is no surprise to me that many webpages have alternative wiki pages, simply because it is soooo much more efficient to edit the wiki pages. I strongly suggest to give all DD's commit access to the wml files and to launch a call on debian-www to massively merge the wiki pages with the outdated webpages. I'm willing to spend some of my time participating in such merging effort. After that I might also volunteer to keep some pages up-to-date, actively watching related sources of information (like the Debian wiki). How I get commit access? Or do I already have that?
