I have been thinking about what can be done to make the name change as painless as possible, by using an htaccess file (or some other technical wizardry) at the new site and/or setting up a dummy site with the OOoAuthors domain name that simply redirects common links to the equivalent at the new site. (My webhost, Dreamhost, allows me to have as many domains on my account as I wish, without extra charge -- other than the annual cost of the domain names. However, they do not allow Plone sites, so putting the existing OOoAuthors site there is not possible.) No doubt many links will break, but at least they can be made to end up at the ODFAuthors home page rather than disappearing into cyberspace and throwing up a 404 Page Not Found error. When we have agreed to move and change name, I will be discussing possibilities with our friends at OOo-DeV. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
