We have noticed that the following sourceforge page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/ comes up highly on searches for BBDB on popular search engines, and is the first point of call for users looking for information on BBDB. Could we trouble you one more time, and request you to insert the same link that you inserted earlier, on the http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/ as well? thank you, Sriram -- For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.

We should make it easy for people to find relevant and recent information about BBDB. The page that the sourceforge maintainers have edited with a link to savanah (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbdb/) does not appear on the first page of a Google or a Bing search for BBDB. You are ignoring the fact that http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/ is the main page in the mind of anyone who tries to find BBDB. They will not be ignoring your hint. There is no way for them to even see it. From the point of view of a new user, what we have just accomplished, amounts to nothing. We do not have to take down the old site. I was only trying to get you to insert the same hint on the old site as well. -Karra -- Better than sec? Nothing is better than sec when it comes to monitoring Big Data applications.
