Remaining Work

Medium Priority

• Review and update outdated content (add "Last Updated" dates)
• Create missing documentation files
• Add link validation to CI/CD pipeline

Low Priority

• Standardize naming conventions (consider for new files only)
• Evaluate splitting very large files
• Standardize README files across project

---

Impact

Before

• 60+ files in main docs/ directory
• 30+ redundant/overlapping files
• Multiple broken links
• Poor organization
• Difficult navigation

After

• ~40 well-organized files in main docs/ directory
• Clear structure with logical groupings
• All broken links fixed
• Improved navigation and discoverability
• Single source of truth for each topic

---

Next Steps

1. Review Updated Documentation - Verify all changes and navigation improvements
2. Update Internal Links - Ensure all cross-references are updated
3. Continue with Medium Priority Items - Review outdated content, create missing docs
4. Implement Maintenance Practices - Add "Last Updated" dates, establish review schedule
