[GenABEL-dev] web-server todo's

[Yurii Aulchenko]

Dear Anatoly, dear All,

apparently our web-site is in good shape -- at least there were no
reports of serious problems, and we gave few days for the people to
react. Unless someone pinpoints a big trouble (please notify
immediately!), I suggest that  we

>>> * Replace MGA *ABEL pages with something, which re-directs the traffic
>>> to www.genabel.org

Anatoly, can you please take care of this some time this week, if
possible? I presume we want to redirect traffic from

http://mga.bionet.nsc.ru/nlru/GenABEL/
http://mga.bionet.nsc.ru/~yurii/ABEL/GenABEL/
http://mga.bionet.nsc.ru/~yurii/ABEL/

and (ideally) all other content in these directories. This is
important: e.g. if you search google for "ABEL tutorial" you get

http://mga.bionet.nsc.ru/~yurii/ABEL/GenABEL/ABEL-tutorial.pdf

as the top hit.

Just to remind what we had in our discussion about re-direction:

"Good" procedure:
