Perhaps we need a download.html page?
Hi,
Currently the top google link in google for "download Flex 4.9) is:
http://flex.apache.org/download.html
Which doesn't exist - any change that URL can redirect to the binary download page or perhaps installer page?
Thanks,
Justin

It's been on my list to setup the sitemap on Google. I haven't done one in
years, but I'll see if I can play with it this evening.

Maybe an .htaccess with redirects for those URLs and maybe feed Google
a sitemap (Om or Nick via [1])?

I think we should have a catch all directive that redirects pages to the
home page. I dont see a .htaccess on our site. Would it be a problem if
we had one at flex.apache.org level?

Hi,
Also the 3rd google hit is missing:
http://flex.apache.org/news.html
I know google will eventually get it right but perhaps we need a stand alone news page?
Thanks,
Justin
