I have the same problem, because I like to use google to search for
stuff in the documentation but I end up on the old one. Also I think
the mouse wheel scrolling in the menu on http://api.prototypejs.org is
way too slow and should be fixed (it takes 10 seconds for me to scroll
down with the mouse
My coworkers still find old docs (http://prototypejs.org/api) by googling. I
had to point them to new doc site. I think it's crucial to set up 301
redirects.
*ONLY* if all of the old information has now been ported over. Looking
at the documentation Lighthouse project[1], it looks like all of
A practical solution would be a well designed 404.
We could get pdoc to generate it with a search field, etc.
We could also try JS redirection.
Anyone wants to give it a shot?
Best,

It would partially solve the problem, but old pages would still remain in
Google index for too long a time. We should get access to the server level
and set up rewrite rules or similar.
I disagree. 404'ing the old docs is not the correct action. 404 means not
found, but the user is requesting a page that he (and you) know exists...
it's just not at that location any more. Thus, a redirect is the way to go.
I'd suggest the following

much improved, but the navigation panel still has issues. The wheel-
scroll is painfully slow. Even clicking in the scroll bar doesn't work
as expected. When you click a position in the scroll bar, usually it
jumps to where you
The scroll bar is native to the browser, meaning it's the same as in a
regular window, iframe or frameset. The navigation panel should scroll with
same methods and speed as every window in your browser.

Robert, that would be great. We unfortunately don't have this level of
access to the server.

Urm... really? You can do 404's but not 301's?
Not saying I don't believe you, I'm just surprised that a project as mature
as prototype is hosted in an environment that doesn't support basic
.htaccess-style configuration.

I was suggesting crating a good 404 page. Not modifying the http
response code.
