Description NoOp 2012-04-02 17:51:28 UTC

If a user goes to here:
http://www.openoffice.org/support/index.html
and then clicks the user list archive link in:

Users Mail List (Subscribe / Archives)
Community support provided by a network of hundreds of experienced
users. You must be subscribed to post messages.

the user will be directed to:
http://www.openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive
That link results in a 404 Not Found.

A better redirect might be:
<https://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html#users-mailing-list>

Comment 1 Rob Weir 2012-04-02 22:10:35 UTC

Two different things:

1) The legacy OOo mailing lists.  These had a site-hosted archive that we lost access to when we moved off of the Oracle servers.  However there is a 2nd copy of that archive, going all the way back to 2000, hosted here:

http://openoffice.markmail.org/

2) And then there are the new lists, hosted by Apache, with Apache as well as MarkMail archives.

So I agree we should update the link on the support page to point to the correct (current) archives for the new list.

But we should also probably put a page at:

http://www.openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive/index.html

That page should explain that the old legacy archives are at 
http://openoffice.markmail.org/ and point also to the new archives.  In fact, we should probably define a rule to do that for all reqests under lists/*/archive, since there may be other incoming links to the legacy archives, or to particular posts there.

There is a broken link on this page also ( a page also linked from http://www.openoffice.org/support/index.html ): http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html  The link to that page is embedded in the text "General OOo mailing lists."

The link is to http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive/ and is embedded in the text "Search in the Archives."

Comment 3 Rob Weir 2012-04-10 16:51:54 UTC

Fixed the two specific issues raised by NoOp and Terry.

But I'm leaving this issue open until we solve the general issue with links to the legacy archives.

The link was fixed.
