Erik, You are most welcome. And thank you for searching that list. :-)
Although each PMC is ultimately responsible for their content, it does seem to me that it is a lot of redundant effort (and likely not commonly done) to scan for broken links. We have a link checker built into one of our products, but I'm sure that there are other open source tools for that purpose that could be batched, e.g., http://www.linklint.org/ http://validator.w3.org/docs/checklink.html Something like one of those could be batched from time to time, and the report mailed to the appropriate list. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Erik Abele [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 12:28 To: community@apache.org Subject: Re: Verifying links Thanks for the reminder to Eric Raymond's changes :) Just grep'ed httpd-*, site, site-tools, apr-*, incubator-*, asf-site, commons-* and found only 3 incorrect links. > In any event, I'm wondering about the systematic issue. Do you think about a general link-checker installed on daedalus? Hmmm, is this really needed? IMHO this should be the responsibility of the content-producing group. cheers, Erik Noel J.
