[Scummvm-devel] [RFC] ScummVM website re-write

[Chris APERS]

Hi guys,
 
I haven't read previous messages, but in fact it is quite imporant to keep previous URLs, else we'll loose page rank and of course all external links will be broken as said knakos.
 
We need to use as much as possible HTTP301 redirections from old pages to the new ones in order to keep everything good regarding search engine optimizations. Like this all previously referenced pages will be slowly by surely changed with new ones.
 
Chris
