FAQ chucking alternatives
To chuck the FAQ from the site we can do this in one of a few ways
1) Delete the files and watch lots of 404's appear (yuck)
2) Change each faq with a META refresh (ok short term, crappy longer term)
3) Other??
Personally I'd like to archive them and 301 redirect the appropriate
pages to the wiki. But with the current config, is .htaccess turned on
anywhere where I (or anyione with the right karma) can add rewrite rules
or appropriate?

No objection from me. Thanks for taking care of this.

Cool. Then if no one objects, I'll add this /faq/.htaccess (Should be
coming as txt attachement)
I noticed http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/development.html didn't get
ported over. Thats in the attachment - but not done yet.

I believe mod_alias is preferred. I say that just because the
redirects for moving project web sites, e.g. when Tomcat left Jakarta
to become tomcat.apache.org, are mod_alias RedirectPermanent rules.

Cool. We'll need explicit mappings since the old names and new pages
aren't the same. Like this:
RewriteRule /faq/classnotfound.html
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Class_Not_Found [R=301]
Unless someone beats me - I'll try to do that this evening. (East Coast
USA time)
If mod_alias is available, this would work too:
RedirectPermanent /faq/classnotfound.html
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Class_Not_Found

I am not 100% the mapping will be this simple. It is is, great. If not, we
could either map each page or do:
RewriteRule /faq/(.*) http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ [R=301]

I believe we have complete .htaccess with mod_rewrite at our disposal,
for URLs in the tomcat.apache.org namespace. So we could, and I'd
like, to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /faq/(.*) http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/$1 [R=301]
Or whatever we decide is appropriate.
