Last March we got this whole project rolling by migrating much of the old Netscape DevEdge content into the new MDC wiki. The temporary mirror of that content we put up is still available here:
I'd appreciate it if I could get some help sifting through that content to see if there's anything in there that -should- be part of the MDC that we haven't yet migrated. Keep in mind that the MDC is solely about developer documentation -- user documentation from the DevEdge mirror should not be migrated into the MDC wikis.
If you do find something that you think should be migrated, please post a note in response to this thread to verify. If it's agreed that the content is appropriate for inclusion to the MDC, you'll be welcome to migrate it yourself, otherwise I'll add it to the "stuff to migrate" list here:

I'm thinking we would go through them and remove ones that have already been moved, or should not be moved, that way we can be sure to get everything...

Removing items that have already been moved from the list seems fine.
A single person deciding that something shouldn't be moved doesn't seem like the best of ideas -- probably it would be better to mark them in a way that proposes they not be moved rather than remove them from the list.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. By "things that probably should be moved", I only meant things like directory listings, index pages, etc - these do show up in the google list, but are not "real pages". In the case of things that may be obsolete, of course I've been leaving them for more knowledgable people to go through.
