Peanut here. What Toni sez.
Right now, an internet search for "drools" returns links to the obsolete drools.org <http://drools.org/> web site, which makes it seem like drools is dead. The downloads on the site are years old. Wrong message. I'd suggest to copy any current data still on drools.org <http://drools.org/> to a section on kie.apache.org <http://kie.apache.org/> In "no time at all" search engines will notice that drools is now homed at kie. Until the domain expires, now redirect drools.org <http://drools.org/> to kie.apache.org <http://kie.apache.org/> . Unless this is done, the project is missing out on a lot of possible users. Same for other domains that are now kie projects.
