Remove User Testing Project Plan page?

[Daphne Ogle]

I' going to push back on keeping old pages a bit.  If we make sure we  
capture what's important from the page elsewhere, in more relevant  
pages,  then we should just let it go.  The wiki is packed full of  
great information which can be challenging for users.  I think we  
should get rid of anything that is not relevant (perhaps we can create  
a place to keep archived pages outside of the wiki) as it just serves  
as noise for the user as they are trying to figure out what to pay  
attention to -- information overload is something we should constantly  
trying to protect users from.  I think there are times when older  
pages help tell the story of why and how we got to where are and  
that's a different situation.  Then I agree, let's keep them for  
institutional memory and just make them less prominent.  I believe in  
this case though we aren't losing anything by losing this page.

My 2 cents...
