I see you're moving away from the web site on www.infradead.org?
I presume you're referring to the material scraped from linuxcentre.net and posted in the GitHub wiki. It's nothing against infradead.org. I just don't have the time or inclination to turn that stuff into a web site. I only want to be able to bash out a bit of Markdown and get things updated quickly, as well as give other people a relatively easy means to contribute, so wiki it is. I'm hoping it will help a bit with knowledge capture, but for the moment it's mostly a time-saving device.
If someone wants to fashion that content into a proper web site, they're free to use the wiki as raw material. It would make a pretty terrible web site as-is given that the content is derived from disconnected blog posts and brain dumps. A proper web site would require more editorial effort than I can provide.
Do you want me to take the existing site down, or make it redirect to github?
No. As someone else pointed out, the Windows installer needs the web site to function. As for a redirect, I don't see any need for that. I added a link to the github wiki in the get_iplayer page at infradead.org, so anyone who wants to read some documentation can find it if they want to. By the same token, the wiki has infradead.org download links and I've replaced the infradead.org copy with a link back to the infradead.org get_iplayer page, so it should hopefully be obvious to anyone reading the GitHub wiki that the infradead.org site is out there.
Or would you rather I fix something else so it can stay where it was?
I don't know what "something else" you're referring to here. Everything on www.infradead.org is exactly as it has always been.
