I don't want to make extra work for you, but I have a suggestion:
[EDITED for bad grammar:
Seeing as what you're effectively doing is a huge audit, why don't you (as well as reporting the candidates for deletion in this thread), put a piece of standardized text on each addon as you audit it (including the ones NOT deleted), so that everyone can see it's status. ]
This could be something like:
Code: Select all
LAST AUDITED (BDB): 25 Jan 2008
and
Code: Select all
LAST AUDITED (BDB): 25 Jan 2008 (DELETED/ARCHIVED)
Ideally, this would have it's own column (Audit-column), but in the absence of that, it could just be added to the short description (Info-column) on the catalog listings, and/or in the long description (on the details page).
This would leave a nice audit trail of your actions for future reference. At the moment (at least to me) it's not obvious which addons you've audited and kept, and this would make it really obvious on the catalog listings which ones have been audited and which have not, (and would also DATE them for future audits.... that's assuming you're ever going to want to do this process again ).
Anyway, I think this would make it easier for people to see what's been checked and when, and would also make it easy for you to keep track of where you've been.
Anyway,
If you want it to look pretty like above, it would require a bit of layout work by Adirondack, but that's just a suggestion.
.. keep up the good work.
