GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 558602
Redirect duplicate/outdated a11y content
Last modified: 2008-10-31 09:24:30 UTC
As part of the GNOME Accessibility web presence effort (see http://live.gnome.org/Accessibility/WebPresenceRefactor), we've discovered quite a bit of duplicate and/or outdated content on developer.gnome.org. Users should be redirected from these old pages to the current ones.
Created attachment 121696 [details] [review] The bulk of it Will is going to handle the testing related content. Here's the htaccess update for the rest.
Thanks; I commited those redirect rules. I'll keep the bug open for Will follow-up.
Frederic that's awesome. Thanks so much! Question for you/the team: I was thinking that it would make sense to delete the old content once the redirects were in place. But looking at other projects with content on developer.gnome.org which is not seen thanks to redirects, it appears that the old content is being kept around. Is that by design?
Not by design, this is bug 549108.
Wow - all I can say is what a joy it is to work on this with everyone involved. Everyone is so constructive and helpful. Way AWESOME. I moved all the ~/web-devel-2/trunk/content/projects/gap/presentations stuff to gnomeweb-wml/trunk/www.gnome.org/projects/accessibility/talks, so we can redirect all that stuff now. I would be OK with just redirecting any reference to anything under ~/web-devel-2/trunk/content/projects/gap/presentations to gnomeweb-wml/trunk/www.gnome.org/projects/accessibility/talks/talks.html, but I think Joanie might be a bit more nicer to redirected surfers than I am. Joanie, thoughts? I have yet to look at the tests -- my goal with them is to find out what useful stuff is left in them and get them into either the GNOME a11y developer's guide or the GNOME a11y distribution testing guide. I'll follow up when I get to that.
Created attachment 121711 [details] [review] The rest of it Frederic, here are the rest of the redirects. Thanks again!!
I have removed the directory, as requested. Many thanks for making this possible. 2008-10-31 Murray Cumming <murrayc@murrayc.com> * projects/gap/: Deleted because this has now merged with www.gnome.org/projects/gap. * projects/Makefile: * projects/main.in: * projects/tree.in: Adapted. Bug #558602. I will leave Frederic to update those redirects, because he started it.
I have also tried to update most links in www.gnome.org/projects/accessibility, but there are still some that don't have obvious new URLs. Please try to update them. I recommend regexxer for this.
I commited the rest of htaccess changes; I also removed projects/gap/ on window.gnome.org. Closing the bug as I think every requested change has been handled.
