document cleanup

[skippy]

every month we move some of the draft documents or agenda and replace them with finalized documents.

This leaves garbage with documents left in the repo with nothing pointing to them. we need garbage collection!

In a perfect world, we would do it at time of modification (if document removed and nothing else references it, remove it from git). BUT having looked at the logic and flow, this is probably better served by having a cron job that runs monthly which:

• scans all the meetings/*.json
• create a list of all referenced files
• scan docs/**
• git rm any docs which aren't referenced and then git commit -m 'removing unreferenced docs

and if we want to get super fancy, we may need/want to --prune the git repo. Honestly, that is dangerous to code... if we need to --prune we should move at least documents to git lfs

sure, or maybe OneDrive solves this?

this is v3; so lets punt... its more just something to think about. THOUGH after chatting with some folks, I may want to keep the agenda up as well as the final meeting minutes as they aren't always the same.

did a manual 'eyeball' scan after a year of running. There are just a handful (3-6) that are orphaned. I would say this should be done BUT it can wait. removing from milestone v3
