-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: VELOCITY-723
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-723
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Engine
            Reporter: Aruna Venkataraman
             Fix For: 1.6.2
         Attachments: getting-started.xml, Gettting Started.doc

Can we change the url of velocity link on 
http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/getting-started.html page?

This url will ultimately redirect the user to 
http://bluedogfan.com/wp-signup.php?new=mirrors page which is useless

Steps to reproduce this bug:
1. Go to http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/getting-started.html 
2. Under downloading velocity section, click on Velocity link
3. http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine is displayed
4. Click on velocity-1.6.2.zip under Binaries and sources section
5. http://bluedogfan.com/wp-signup.php?new=mirrors page is displayed with the 
message Registration has been disabled.

To fix this bug i have changed 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/engine/trunk/xdocs/docs/getting-started.xml
 code. 

Under section dowloading velocity i have changed:
<a href="http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine";>Velocity</a>

to

<a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/velocity/engine";>Velocity</a>

http://www.apache.org/dist/velocity/engine URL works. Please let me know your 
comments on this. Can i checkout and commit this patch?

Please find attached the modified getting-started.xml code. Also the steps to 
reproduce the issue has been attached in Gettting Started.doc

Regards,
Aruna
