I tend to agree with this point. Presense on RTD is nice, but what is left in git.wiki.k.o is not something I'd consider porting it over; the contents of git-scm.com/ might be but that is off topic here. > # Should it be archived as a static site? > > It's possible to turn git.wiki.kernel.org into a static site with a large > header on every page that it contains historical archival information, with a > link to https://git-scm.com/doc I do not know the size of regular traffic to the git.wiki.k.o; if many people visit (on purpose or by mistake) there to warrant such a redirection, then it is very much appreciated. No current contents with just "redirect in 5 seconds---please update your bookmark" may be fine. > # Should it be archived and put out of its misery? > > The last option is to just archive the site and put it out of its increasingly > irrelevant existence. Archiving so that people can retrieve the contents for whatever reason may be needed no matter what other things are done, I would imagine. Thanks.
