I agree - this is a great idea, but not very helpful if it's that far out of date.
I've always wanted to get into the kernel a bit more, but it can be difficult if you're not already familiar with the codebase and architecture, so it can be difficult to get started. This seems like a great way to get some initial familiarity - too bad it's (apparently) defunct.
Lwn and linuxnewbies aren't perfect, but they're some of the best resources we have. There are also a few books out there that are pretty useful, but they are always out of date. No need to start from scratch and replace these things;it's easier to just work on improving what we have already.
Linux is a huge program developed by tons of people over decades with limited focus on docs in the past and high code turnover today. Getting useful information about it is just hard.

Also interested. Anyone know of a replacement?
