Well, one thing that would help tremendously is if all websites dated their posts. Many relive date data to 'remain relevant', and readers have no idea if something was written yesterday or 7 years ago. Silly practice.

I don't think deleting old things is a good idea, though. That information could still be valuable in some way, so adding a note to a post mentioning the info is no longer relevant would be enough to notify readers.

I guess I'm saying I don't think keeping old stuff up is a big deal, but it should be made known that it's old with some of these little tweaks.

As for reference docs... Well, that's on the developers to deal with.
