Sebb commented on COMMONSSITE-75:
---------------------------------
All the POM url entries would need to be reverted, and all the sites
regenerated unless some way was found to move the existing ones and adjust all
the internal links to the pages currently above /proper in the hierarchy.
We are lucky in that these links are mainly at top level, and it seems that
additional ../ levels are ignored, so it might not be necessary to adjust all
the links immediately.
Also, some links (e.g. in index.html pages) have been changed to use the
/proper/commons-name format.
These would also need to be changed back.
However this could be done at leisure, assuming that the reverse Redirects were
in place.
I do agree that the new URLs are harder to use.

> Project: Commons All
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Site
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg

> With the recent site update the components are now published at the URL:
> {code}http://commons.apache.org/(proper|sandbox|dormant)/commons-<componentname>{code}
> That doesn't make very friendly URLs. "commons" is displayed twice, in the
> subdomain and before the component name. We should at least have:
> {code}http://commons.apache.org/(proper|sandbox|dormant)/<componentname>{code}
> And for the components in Commons Proper we should drop "proper" from the
> path such that we are back with the same, short, friendly URLs:
> {code}http://commons.apache.org/<componentname>{code}
> or
> {code}http://commons.apache.org/(sandbox|dormant)/<componentname>{code}
