[PRIVATE] RE: [WWW] Changeover is Close - Final Tasks!
My questions are really simple. There is no deep technical anything behind them. It's all about what will be the observable behavior. Not how, but what.
Showing me code is meaningless to me. I have no idea about servlets and can't help you. I'm a static web guy.
I'm giving up now. Che sarà sarà.

Hi Dennis,
One more try. I may have been somewhat dense earlier today.

The plan is twofold.
(1) For ooo-site.apache.org to do what www.openoffice.org does now with exceptions - it doesn't do servlets and logins related to individual openoffice.org accounts.
(2) For openoffice.org to continue to do what it does now.

What http://www.openoffice.org/projects/www/lists does now is return Kenai's version of a 404. ooo-site does the same. We don't need to redirect that url.
We should be redirecting /servlets/* in ooo-site, it is not a one-to-one map to openoffice.org/projects/<project>/lists.
The servlet urls look like this.

If someone would explain how to map these to functions on openoffice.org/projects/ we can make the changes to the ooo-site hrefs with redirects if needed.
Is this better?

Posted by Dave Fisher <da...@comcast.net>.
I'm trying to tell you the behavior that I have observed.
I'm trying to tell you where the 404s are and where they will appear.
I'll attempt to fix the 404s that will be new, I won't address the 404s that will continue to exist. OK?
Good night.
