All OSS Watch documents undergo a life cycle to ensure quality and consistency. Each
document is reviewed 6 months after publication for integrity and again 12 months after
publication for integrity and relevance. Any document found lacking in either area at the 12
month review is either rewritten as required or archived.
Archived documents remain on the public website in order to ensure that no one's links to
such documents break. They are clearly marked as Archived. Such
documents will not be further checked for link integrity and relevance.
