Some times they are on the Vault, sometimes on the sandbox and other on private sites. What do you think to preserv this information? I would also replace the review dates by the accepted date.

   In many cases, those old files are not maintained or are even removed
after the review is done. If it becomes part of Boost, it will be in the
trunk. If it does not, then it is entirely up to the author to decide
whether they even want it to be accessible anymore. It is entirely
reasonable to have the old information disappear when the review is
done, and I think it is a good choice.

   The explicit notification gives Ron and I something hard to miss when
we are trying to keep the schedule up to date and trying to keep people
informed. I would appreciate continuing this, even if people also put
useful information on the wiki.
