Description
This project is to go over the projects and make sure that the list of active projects is correct and clear to read.
Purpose
We currently saw the problem of having too much projects that people have started, but not enough people to do them. We want to find a way to advertise the projects better (using the project page), make them more welcoming and have a better overview for the people actually working on the projects.

Fix a bug in the active projects list(Moved to WikiSquad/Project/Improving_the_Wiki#ToDo )Sub-projects which have their parent project marked as closed are still displayed in the active projects list. It looks like this is a bug in the way the project list is displayed. Ideally, we should fix this, but on the other hand the inconvenience is not big...(Moved to WikiSquad/Project/Improving_the_Wiki#ToDo )
When all children of a project are closed, close the parent project as well ?(Moved to WikiSquad/Project/Improving_the_Wiki#ToDo )
Conclusion
We concluded that this project is done now.
Some things could still be improved (the list of active projects is still long compared to the number of active pirates envolved). We did all the items from the timeline as planned. The to-do list items that were left have been added mostly to the Improve the wiki project page.
Thanks for your contribution!
