# Archive
This directory contains historical documentation that has been superseded by the new documentation structure.
## 📦 What's Here
These files are preserved for historical reference but are **no longer maintained**:
### Status & Planning Documents
- **PROJECT_STATUS.md** - Superseded by README.md status section
- **DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md** - Superseded by CHANGELOG.md and roadmap
- **IMPROVEMENTS_SUMMARY.md** - Historical improvement log
- **EZ_ENHANCEMENT_SUMMARY.md** - Historical EZ tier development log
- **DOCUMENTATION_OVERHAUL_SUMMARY.md** - Previous documentation restructuring
### Audit Documents
- **AUDIT_FIXES.md** - Historical security/quality audit
- **audit.md** - Original audit report
- **AUDIT_FIXES_SUMMARY.md** - Audit summary from md/ directory
## 🔍 Why Archived?
### Redundancy
Many of these files contained status information now maintained in:
- **README.md** - Current project status
- **CHANGELOG.md** - Version history and changes
- **docs/** - Organized documentation
### Staleness
These documents reflected point-in-time status that is now outdated. The information has been:
- Updated and integrated into current docs
- Simplified for better user experience
- Reorganized for easier navigation
### Historical Value
We keep these files because:
- Git history shows project evolution
- May contain useful implementation notes
- Provides context for design decisions
- Easy to reference if needed
## ✅ Current Documentation

### Getting Started
- **[README.md](../README.md)** - Project overview
- **[QUICKSTART.md](../QUICKSTART.md)** - 5-minute quick start
- **[docs/getting-started/](../docs/getting-started/)** - Installation, FAQ, troubleshooting

## 🗑️ Should We Delete These?
**No.** Reasons to keep:
1. **Git history** - Shows how project evolved
2. **Implementation details** - May contain useful technical notes
3. **Design rationale** - Explains why decisions were made
4. **Easy to ignore** - Archiving keeps them out of the way
5. **No harm** - Text files are tiny
