This kind of change may seem minor but it does make a very positive difference. New users approaching the project are undoubtably put off or made nervous seeing very stale documents. Out of date docs really kill confidence that a project is a "going concern".

Hi!

 

Just thought I’d let you know that I just pushed an update to the Guide [1] (webrev [2]).  Don’t get too excited, all I did was a quick pass to remove the obviously incorrect (e.g. s/Sun/Oracle/g),  eliminate references to plans that never materialized or things that longer exist, run it through the W3C Markup Validator, and bump the version number/date.  

 

There’s still additional work that could be done.  There’s no grand plan here.  It just made me sad to see the Guide languishing for attention.

Thanks,

iris
