Dennis missed our discussion of this trick. If a user goes to http://openoffice.org/ then Kenai very nicely redirects them to http://www.openoffice.org/. Website migration is decoupled from the following other issues: - Mailing List cutover. (ooo-site should avoid allowing users to subscribe to the old lists.) - @openoffice.org forwarder cut-off. - openoffice.org ids and extensions and templates access. There are a bunch of servlets around login and project mailing lists. These will break. They will need to be removed, but I don't think that should stop us from migration. I do agree that we should make the old legacy visible on the new site. I've asked for someone to look into /mail_list.html. Links to http://openoffice.org/projects/ and http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/. would be welcome additions. CTR people! Regards, Dave >> ________________________________ >> From: Dennis E.
