schestowitzMost of these were made two months after rms was ousted, most of them were put in by Therese Godefroy, who is very possibly just responding to tickets put in (I haven't checked who is filing the tickets.)Jun 27 23:13
schestowitzRedirects like these (at least ones to GitHub) do not appear to be common before that period.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz>> Are you writing something about it or should I?Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz> Be my guest, I have nothing planned. I would leave Matt out of it because he only did the one, and I'm not convinced Godefroy is really party to this either. I still haven't checked who wrote the tickets-- only the fixes.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz>Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz> I did try to find them. I assume they exist, but it was easier to find tickets for other GNU projects. This is the WWW stuff. I have some thoughts about where to look and haven't spent much time on that.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz>Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz> I don't have an article planned. I think XXXXXXX and I are both of the impression that it would be more article-worthy if there were more like this (unlikely, because it would probably be logged) but lately you've done a mix of shorter and longer articles, so I'm sure you'll manage. Cheers.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz>> Who of us will write about this?Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz> One of you, surely. I always hand this stuff of to you when I think it will be better. I had no plans to write about this anyway, I think it's interesting of course.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitzIt IS interesting. MattL was very unpleasant around that time.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitz> I would, if no one else.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitzPlease do, I'll keep notes aside for (perhaps) something else.Jun 27 23:13
schestowitzYou know more about this than me, having mentioned these redirects in an older articleJun 27 23:13
