Dain,
Sounds like a good idea. Will you be creating these URLs with the
redirects (I assume only a committer can do this)? If you let me know
when they are complete I'll update the web console welcome and welcome
page to reference these instead. We would need these links (just one or
two additions to your list Dain):
http://geronimo.apache.org/issues ==> jira (problem tracking)
http://geronimo.apache.org/wiki ==> our current wiki
http://geronimo.apache.org/download ==> our download page
http://geronimo.apache.org/IRC ==> IRC - do we need a redirect for this?
http://geronimo.apache.org/moreSamples ==> Additional Samples (on
confluence)
http://geronimo.apache.org/confluence ==> Confluence ***
*** Based on the earlier responses I assume that we want to keep the
confluence link on the welcome pages. Would this not be needed with the
PDF that is also being discussed or do we also want the live link as well?
There are a few others but they are already hosted in geronimo.apache
such as Documentation, FAQs, dev & user mail archives.

+1 lets define some URLs under geronimo.apache.org and setup redirect
rules for them
I suggest the following:
http://geronimo.apache.org/issues ==> jira insall
http://geronimo.apache.org/wiki ==> our current wiki
http://geronimo.apache.org/download ==> our download page
maybe
http://geronimo.apache.org/documentation
http://geronimo.apache.org/source

I agree with Hernan that the current links in the welcome portlet are
very helpful. But I think we should only keep them if we can be sure
they won't change in the foreseeable future. IMO the best way to
ensure that would be to set up redirects and/or aliases under the
HTTP server for geronimo.apache.org.
For example, the "Problem Tracking Database" link in the welcome
portlet currently points at :
http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=10220
But it's likely that URL could become stale within the lifespan of
the Geronimo 1.0 console.
So instead the welcome portlet could point at:
http://geronimo.apache.org/problems
and the server could redirect to the actual address.
Can someone familiar with how the geronimo.apache.org HTTP server is
administered please advise whether or not this sounds like a
reasonable approach?
thanks,
Paul

I would like to keep the link to the confluence site (the one hosted by
Atlassian). Jason is working on getting a confluence site (licensed)
hosted in one of the zones. Whenever the decision is taken on (if)
moving the wiki, then we can update the console in the next refresh or
as an intermediate "fix".
For an immediate (but yet temporary) solution I would suggest, once the
confluence doc is officially moved (if it is moved), to have a redirect
on the Atlassian site.
Cheers!
