501174 - Migrate or archive content in Netlib project directory on www.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[David Boswell]

Some of the netlib documentation on www.mozilla.org has been moved over
to MDC, so we should either archive any remaining pages that are out of date or
migrate them over to MDC and set up redirects.

Comment 1

[Benjamin Smedberg]

A list of doc URLs on these sorts of bugs would be really helpful!

Comment 2

[David Boswell]

A list of pages in this directory is available at

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-org/source/html/projects/netlib/

Comment 3

To follow up on this bug, archiving legacy content is now a requirement for being able to move forward with the mozilla.org/.com merge.

If there is no plan to manually migrate this content in the short term, we will go ahead with moving this content off of www.mozilla.org and putting it someplace where you can decide what to do with it on your own schedule.  That may be either the www-archive.mozilla.org site or an archive section of MDN.

/projects/netlib pages archived, existing redirect moved into main .htaccess file and redirect set for mozilla.org/projects/netlib to point to Necko page on MDN in r90698.

Note all of the old content is still available on the archive site and can be migrated to appropriate places as needed.

For instance, the Necko Interfaces Overview page is at

http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/necko_interface_overview.html

and anyone going to the original link is automatically redirected there.
