NO!! Please do not do anything with the SO/VO pages right now.

First, let me be clear. I like your idea. I think it's a very good idea to split the SO/VO information by year. I am not asking you to kill the idea. I'm asking you only to wait before doing the work.

As part of our ongoing overhaul, we need to revamp completely our current category structure. One of the changes I'm going to propose is to eliminate the SO and VO as categories and convert these to article pages. If the community approves that proposal, then we'll need to redo everything you're talking about doing.

First, I need to finish the proposed policies and guidelines. If I devote all my free time to that, I can complete it within a week, or two at the extreme. Creating a proposed new category structure will take much less time.

All of which gives us this order of events:
 * 1) Pella finishes proposed policies and guidelinessome of which will affect categories.
 * 2) Community discusses and possibly changes p&g.
 * 3) Community approves p&g.
 * 4) Pella proposes new category structure.
 * 5) Repeat steps 2 & 3 for category structure.
 * 6) Create new category structure.
 * 7) Make Bent's idea happen.

True, the SO/VO may still be categories when we're done. Counting on that is a big risk, though. Are you willing to take that chance? To me, taking that chance is unwise.
