I discovered that as we updated the redirections from http://taverna.sourceforge.net/ to our new website at http://www.taverna.org.uk/ forgot about a tiny SourceForge feature where it will generate a Sourceforge Project page if there is no index.html (I did all the redirection in .htaccess)
I've now rectified that so that also the front page http://taverna.sourceforge.net/ redirects properly. Other URLs such as http://taverna.sourceforge.net/download and http://taverna.sourceforge.net/docs should also redirect to the appropriate page on the new site. Please let us know if there are any old linked/bookmarked URLs that no longer work/redirect. I changed the default download among the old files at https://sourceforge.net/projects/taverna/files/ in case someone still goes down that route by searching for Taverna from the SourceForge front page. (And if you don't remember why we moved downloads away from SourceForge it had to do with the intrusive forms that asked users to fill in marketing information - this turned out to be part of injected ads from third-parties and would actually trick users into downloading something else than Taverna). It was not possible to remove the 'Download now' button without also removing all the old versions, so instead I made a readme file the default download. The readme is as follows: > Official download site for Taverna workbench is no longer SourceForge, but: > > http://www.taverna.org.uk/download/ > > Also see new official download mirrors: > > https://launchpad.net/taverna/t1 > https://launchpad.net/taverna/t2 > http://code.google.com/p/taverna/downloads/list > > > Older versions of Taverna are still available here for archival reasons. Of course clicking for this readme file will still hit those intrusive ads, but this should only affect users who probably are already familiar with SourceForge. -- Stian Soiland-Reyes, myGrid team School of Computer Science The University of Manchester ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ taverna-hackers mailing list [email protected] Web site: http://www.taverna.org.uk Mailing lists: http://www.taverna.org.uk/taverna-mailing-lists/ Developers Guide: http://www.mygrid.org.uk/tools/developer-information
