My stance on this was and will always be to not put links pointing to currently available pages in whatever cms we're using. Editors will keep removing or renaming pages, breaking the links. Site might be restructured and links break. So I advocate to use hub.libreoffice.org links - hub.libreoffice.org is meant to * add a layer of abstraction. * direct people to different pages depening on what version is used and what language is used (when that info is passed as parameter) > In the meantime, we have all the past versions of LibreOffice pointing to > the page that does not exit. And especially to solve that problem. any no-longer existing hub.libreoffice.org links could be redirected to a "looks like you're using an outdated version" or similar page without much of a hassle. Especially with links that should point to different NL-Pages, adding direct links to de.libreoffice.org, nl.libreoffice.org, etc is a no-go in my opinion. As you cannot add links for langauges that don't have that page yet/don't exist yet into LibreOffice. And it is already hard enough to keep pages needed for links put into old releases on the english page, it is a magnitude more complicated to heep those around on many sites. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
