Yes we from the documentation team feel like cleaning up ....

Actually an entry point in the VM world we have recently been working on
is
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1447  The Squeak Virtual Machine

There are many entry point into the documentation and there are over
3000 pages.

Could you post some example entry links to pages which are in particular
outdated.

To remember: If you change the text string of a title of a page from
let's say  

		My title

to
		My title (outdated)
or
		My title (obsolete)

all the links in the Swiki will have the new text string. So if a whole
page
is outdated this is an easy way to deal with the problem without
actually deleting the
content.

And I think many of the old notes may be just deleted. At the moment
tend to 
be on the conservative side, i.e. if in doubt we do not delete things.

P.S. And thank you Tim for updating VM pages on the squeak foundation
wiki.
