David,

I don't see the justification in deleting these pages, they are still very
useful for developers who need to get up and running.

Those pages contained information about dependancies, etc that are different
for each platform.

Even if they were of questionable current usefulness, I'd rather keep things
around and simply put a "deprecated" header over them, so that people who
want the information can still see it. Deleting the content makes them
invisible to all but administrators, which is, imho, a bad idea.

I'm not going to revert your changes, but I disagree that these pages were
not useful. They are in the same category as redirects like
http://sugarlabs.org/wiki/index.php?title=Sugar_Labs/Meetings&action=edit&redlink=1,
http://sugarlabs.org/wiki/index.php?title=OLE_Presentation&action=edit&redlink=1,
http://sugarlabs.org/wiki/index.php?title=Presentations&action=edit&redlink=1,
and http://sugarlabs.org/go/IRC.
