Javier Candeira updated COUCHDB-2368:
-------------------------------------
Description:
If the Guide is to be deprecated, we should edit each chapter with a header
explaining:
- The level at which it is deprecated
- Where the relevant information formerly found in that page is now found
- Some kind of 307 (temporary redirect) to be sent only to Google (check that
this is legal and doesn't incur penalty first).
Rationale: newcomers like myself still find the guide through google and other
search engines. We should try to SEO-deprecate it while having good content in
the pages both for humans and for robots who still find it.
Rationale for 307: I see the 2.0 release as a good opportunity to update the
guide, if the stakeholders still want that to happen. I'm being informed that
the Guide is not the project's property, but Noahs, JCA's and Jan's. Still, it
looks almost official and somehow "feels" a bit official to people coming from
outside. That's why I dare.
