Just for clarification on the move: usually redirects within www.mozilla.org are handled by webdev, in an .htaccess file... which happens to live in the old PHP codebase (as opposed to Bedrock/Django). :)

Now that webprod can manage redirects, is this bug easier for us to take on internally? Like could pmac or mkelly or sancus take it on?

Comment 3

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

The redirects that recently moved into webprod were the /b or bedrock redirects.

The legacy redirects (anything on mozilla.org not served by bedrock) are in a rather large .htaccess file in the svn repo.

In both cases our group can adjust this without IT.

That being said i'd like to hear back from Ken on bug #724672 just to be sure, it's been a few months since we discussed this.

We will be creating a landing page on bedrock at /access.

This bug is no longer valid.

Adding a note here to clarify. After additional discussion this bug is completely not valid. Please see Bug 878039 for decided upon approach.
