>Description:
www/en/projects/projects.sgml is woefully out dated. It includes a lot
of projects that haven't been updated in in this century, and a few
broken links. For each category I've made a ``Unmaintained Pages''
section, where I moved all of the pages that hadn't been updated in
recent history. At first I had named this ``Unmaintaintained Projects''
but decided that wasn't always the case, so I switched to Pages.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Patch follows.
