Ah, deep linking into the Bugzilla. Now I understand. Yes, that is important.
But the issues have not moved. They should still be there on the read-only OpenOffice.org Bugzilla. What can't be done is further commenting and seeing any changes since the move. To stay tied to the live one, the redirection has to be done on the OpenOffice.org site. Also, people may be frustrated to learn that they still can't comment or make new issues because they have to reactivate their registration, if any. PLEASE: Is there someone HERE who can change the message on the OpenOffice.org Bugzilla to something like "This instance of Bugzilla is now Read-Only!! The current Bugzilla is now at the Apache OOo Project, http://issues.apache.org/ooo/ ALSO: I think we need to refine the notice that now shows up on every view into issues.apache.org/ooo/ so that arrivals by deep linking know where they are (I.e., at the Apache OOo Bugzilla, not the "live" one. They are not necessarily going to know why that is important :). Also, a password is not required simply to access the Bugzilla, it is required to submit and modify issues. THEN We need to consider how to redirect. If we redirect http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/, there is other information that will be lost (such as what is now on that front page and all of the information on other pages that leads to that and other pages). QUESTION: Is there anyone HERE who knows how to do that successfully THERE without breaking something else? Ideally, it would look like the Apache Bugzilla is now simply sitting in place of the original OpenOffice.org one. But we need to be able to revert if we mess it up. And we will need to do considerable housekeeping to keep visitors from being confused or giving up on what appears to be a mess. I assume that updating Forum pages is easy. I am concerned about the web pages of the site that are all about OpenOffice.org Bugzilla. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: FR web forum [mailto:o...@athena.apache.org] Sent: Monday, September 05, 2011 11:14 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Announcing Apache ooo Bugzilla on OpenOffice.org Lists >On the English and Spanish forums (I cannot talk for the others) the >"how to report bugs and suggestions" tutorials are updated with the >new bugzilla address. Ditto for French forum :-) But as I said before. We have many posts with links tagged Issue that point to the old qa.oo.o So an automatic redirection will be nice.
