Hi,

after migration to the new layout most of the old pages are not usable
any more because the submenus vanished. Albert pointed out that there
are still lots of links from the web to these pages, especially links to
the so called homepages of our applications, for instance

http://edu.kde.org/kmplot

I allready copied most of the content of the application "homepages" to
UserBase Wiki. To not send visitors to pages with outdated content and
no further readings I suggest to

1. remove the outdated pages from the site, and

2. catch requests to pages and redirect them to a suitable starting point.

For instance I would remove the kmplot folder and send all requests of
pages in this folder to

http://edu.kde.org/applications/all/kmplot

From here the visitor can find all information regarding KmPlot.

It is necessary that the current kmplot folder doesn't exist or that it
is empty at least, so that the server will start error 404 handling. I
improved this handler to catch every request underneath a given folder,
in my example /kmplot.

Instead of removing the files I could move them to an archive folder.
But because of svn it is not necessary: the old files could be restored
using an appropriate revision number from the repository any later time.

Please let me know your suggestions about this issue and my suggested
work around.

Best regards

Matthias
