885848 - Handle /about/index.* files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Legacy PHP system, defect)

Description

[Justin Crawford [:hoosteeno] [:jcrawford]]

There are a handful of index*.html files here:

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.org/trunk/about/

They are all still served:

http://www.mozilla.org/about/index.html
http://www.mozilla.org/about/index.el.html
http://www.mozilla.org/about/index.fr.html
http://www.mozilla.org/about/index.de.html
http://www.mozilla.org/about/index.fur.html
http://www.mozilla.org/about/index.hr.html

This bug's overall intention is to get those files out of SVN. Please...
* Determine if they need to be migrated
* If so, determine where
* Migrate them
* Set up necessary redirects
* Delete them from SVN
* If they are the last thing in the about folder, also delete about from SVN

Hi David-

Do we still need this page in English?  Or is it covered by http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/ and we could delete 
http://www.mozilla.org/about/index.html?

Thanks,
Jen

No, we don't need that page.  It's a duplicate of the Bedrock About page that has escaped getting redirected.

Localized versions can be removed

I can do that. Any redirects required, or can we simply remove the index.*.html files?

The English index.html will be addressed with Bug 832348.

Pascal recommended redirecting the non-English pages to /contribute. PR to do that here: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/999

Redirect /about/index.* files for Bug 885848

Comment 8

[Steven Garrity [:sgarrity]]

After a discussion with pmac, jbertsch, and pascalc in  #www, we decided to redirect the /about/index.*.html files from the .org repo and the /*/about/ pages from the .com repo. English pages redirect to /about/ (bedrock) and all others to /contribute/

Removed the obsolete files from the mozilla.com svn repo in trunk in r117214.

Removed the files from the mozilla.org SVN repo in r117248.

The removal from the mozilla.com svn repo still need to be synced to stage/production (r117214 in trunk). Re-opening until that sync is done.
