Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-804:
----------------------------------------
Not sure what to do, perhaps we should move to the ASF CMS?
> Each page in Mahout's Confluence Wiki has 2 URLs, with differing page styles
> and search behaviours

> Key: MAHOUT-804
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-804
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Website
> Reporter: Dan Brickley
> Labels: atlassian, confluence, wiki
>
> There are two styles of URL in circulation for URLs into Mahout's Wiki
> (presumably an Apache-wide configuration issue):
> https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/svd-singular-value-decomposition.html vs
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/SVD+-+Singular+Value+Decomposition
> They appear to be the self-same confluence 3.4.9 installation (or its raw
> filetree). Each has a different search box at the top of the page. The
> version with 'confluence/' in the path does a confluence search, and returns
> similar URLs as results. The one with '.html' suffixes does a
> domain-constrained Google search.
> Despite markup canonicalising the confluence variant, ie. <link
> rel="canonical"
> href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/SVD+-+Singular+Value+Decomposition";>
> appearing in the confluence pages, it seems the Google search results
> typically throw people into the other version of the Wiki site.
> This is all mildly confusing, mildly annoying but overall mostly harmless. It
> could be having some negative impact on google rank & suchlike, since
> incoming links will be split between the two styles. Maybe this could be
> passed along to the Wiki admins?
> Which version does the Mahout team consider canonical URLs (for external
> links etc)?
