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!
