Hello SPDX community,

This is a follow-up from discussions on several of the SPDX general
meetings and workgroup calls over the past couple of months. The TL;DR
version is:

   - The main static pages for the SPDX website are now hosted at
   https://spdx.dev
   - The dynamically-generated content for the license list and RDF
   definitions will remain at the pre-existing URLs under https://spdx.org
   (e.g., https://spdx.org/licenses)
   - Redirects are in place, so this change should be seamless if you have
   bookmarked old URLs
   - Improvements, additions, bugs, etc. can be filed at
   https://github.com/spdx/spdx-website/issues

More details are below for those who are interested. Thank you to everyone
who was involved in assisting with the changeover.

Best,
Steve

The SPDX static website has previously been hosted on Drupal servers at
https://spdx.org. This URL has also been used for hosting the files that
are dynamically generated for the license list (https://spdx.org/licenses)
and the RDF spec definition files (https://spdx.org/rdf/terms and other
files under /rdf).

The Drupal servers have been planned for decommission, and we have migrated
the static website content over to Wordpress. Originally, we had explored
whether both the static and dynamically-generated content could all remain
at its existing URLs. However, this did not appear to be reasonably doable
without shifting the dynamic license list and RDF content to separate
subdomains. Because SPDX has committed to maintaining the existing URLs for
those files, we did not want to take this approach.

Instead, as mentioned above, the static content for the website has been
shifted over to a new domain, https://spdx.dev. We have created redirects
from the old spdx.org URLs over to the new corresponding pages at spdx.dev.
Because of this, URLs that you've bookmarked for the static site should
still get you to the right content. And URLs that you've bookmarked for the
license list and RDF definition files will remain the same, as those are
continuing to be hosted from spdx.org.

You'll see that the content at the new https://spdx.dev site is largely
identical to the old site, although we have done some reorganization of the
top-level links to make the menu bar a bit more usable. Now that the site
transition is completed, we are looking to make more updates to some of the
content that has grown stale over time. If you have suggestions or content
you'd like to add or update, or if you see bugs or errors on the website,
please feel free to file an issue at
https://github.com/spdx/spdx-website/issues -- for the moment that is
probably the easiest way to flag issues.
