## Maintenance Recommendations
|
||||
|

### Ongoing Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Regular Reviews**
|
||||
- Monthly: Review status files (archive if >90 days old)

||||
- Quarterly: Review all documentation for accuracy
|
||||
- Annually: Comprehensive documentation audit
|
||||
|
||||
2. **New Documentation**
|
||||
- Always add "Last Updated" date
|
||||
- Place in appropriate subdirectory
|
||||
- Update relevant index files
|
||||
- Cross-reference related documentation
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Archive Policy**
|
||||
- Status files → Archive after 90 days
|
||||
- Deprecated features → Archive with notice
|
||||
- Old audit reports → Archive when new ones created
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
