Mail archive links in the Welcome portlet should use the redirects at
geronimo.apache.org
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-2064
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2064
Project: Geronimo
Type: Bug
Security: public (Regular issues)
Components: console
Versions: 1.1
Reporter: Paul McMahan
The welcome portlet contains several links to external resources such as the
FAQ, Wiki, and mailing lists. Any external resources that are not hosted at
geronimo.apache.org are referred to indirectly via a redirect page that is
hosted at geronimo.apache.org. For example, the location of the confluence
Wiki may change so instead of hardcoding its current location which is at
opensource.atlassian.com the link in welcome portlet points at a page on
geronimo.apache.org that automatically redirects the browser to
opensource.atlassian.com. This allows Geronimo to change where the welcome
portlet points its links at without patching the console.
The links to the user and dev mailing lists on the right hand column of the
welcome portlet use these redirects and they work fine. However, there are two
additoinal links to the user and dev mailing lists in the main text of the
portlet that do not use the redirects and point directly at pages hosted at
marc.theaimsgroup.com. Those links should use the redirect pages at
geronimo.apache.org instead. Otherwise the links may fail or lead to
inappropriate content outside the control of apache.org.
