It's not just about fixing links. There is extensive text and a hierarchy of pages one can wander through before getting to the wrong Bugzilla for now. This could usefully be done to the current OpenOffice.org instance, if someone has the karma and willingness to do it.
Just saying this is not entirely a mechanical task. Also, it is something we could use help with from over there that would then be mostly settled when we bring hosting of the site onto Apache infrastructure. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Fisher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 11:00 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Announcing Apache ooo Bugzilla on OpenOffice.org Lists On Sep 5, 2011, at 12:07 PM, Dennis E.

I am concerned about the web > pages of the site that are all about OpenOffice.org Bugzilla. For the website I have a sed script that is intended to be used to change urls - ooo/site/trunk/tools/urlrewrite.sed It currently only goes as far as remapping urls for the openoffice.org projects as sub-folders of the podling site. A similar script would be used when we decide how and how much goes to an Apache hosted openoffice.org. So, I am adding "s/http:\/\/openoffice.org\/bugzilla/https:\/\/issues.apache.org\/ooo/g" Regards, Dave > > - Dennis > > -----Original Message----- > From: FR web forum [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, September 05, 2011 11:14 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Announcing Apache ooo Bugzilla on OpenOffice.org Lists > > >> On the English and Spanish forums (I cannot talk for the others) the >> "how to report bugs and suggestions" tutorials are updated with the >> new bugzilla address. > Ditto for French forum :-) > > But as I said before.
