If you look at the bottom of the page, the last line (excluding the common
footer) reads

Send suggestions for changes to the edu-sig list or to andre.roberge at

I don't see a problem with the links listed on the page either.

Personally, I don't think that Zed Shaw's link is of particular interest for
the edu-sig community.

And, if you want to "clean up/decimate the edu-sig links", please remove the
note to contact me with suggestions for changes.  And it probably would be a
good idea to also send an email to the edu-sig list explaining the reasoning
for the change.
