I would suggest that passing a resolution that outlaws most user
pages
is a bad idea.
I think it is obvious that the board mean that clause to refer to the
actual content of the projects, not the various meta stuff that also
exists on the sites.
That's the meaning, definitely, same as it was in the previous board
statement. I would observe, too, that for material on user pages, if
you're even going to ask whether it's educational, what is it going to
educate people about? That particular user, presumably. And in that
context, it's pretty hard to rule out any kind of self-expression that
person has chosen as not being educational about them. It may be
inappropriate for other reasons, such as community policy or social
concerns, but this wouldn't really be a basis for enforcing that.
