Megan put that one in at my urging. It's basically an extension of Google Analytics. It gives reports on 404s and tips on how to improve your sitemap. There is nothing to install on the server, we just have to put a little html or code snippet include into the site so that Google can verify the site.

All that said, you're right it's been renamed to Google Search Console and, for the moment, we don't seem to have access to it, even as an o.o Google Analytics admin. As usual, Google does the worst job possible about telling you how to switch to their new tool. Le sigh.

I'm having a hard time figuring out from that page what exactly
"Google Webmaster tools" is, and under what license it's
distributed. Looks like maybe it's been renamed "Google Search
Console" according to Wikipedia, but it's still unclear to me where
to download the source and how to install it on the server.

The search console link just goes to a login page and wants me to
have an account with Google before it will (presumably) give me any
more detail, so that was the point where I stopped.

Hello all!

As you may be aware, sitemaps generation for docs.openstack.org is currently done via a manually triggered scrapy process. It currently also scrapes the entirety of docs.openstack.org, making processing slow. In order to improve the efficiency of this process, I would like to propose the following updates to the sitemap generation toolkit:
* keep track (in logs) of 301s, 302s, and 404s,
* automatic pull of supported releases,
* cron-managed automatic updates, and
* setup of Google Webmaster tools (https://www.google.com/webmasters/)
* a few style cleanups

Beyond this, implementing more targeted crawling would improve the processing speed and scope massively. This is, however, a bit of a complicated matter, as it requires us to decide what, exactly, defines scope relevence, in order to limit the crawl domain.

These are, of course, only our precursory findings. and we would love to hear some feedback about alternate methods and possible tricky aspects of the suggested changes. What do you think? Let us know!
