Proposal: migrate content to ethereum.org about homestead-guide HOT 7 OPEN

At first I was more into the idea of banners so we preserve the historical aspect of the docs and what Ethereum used to be, but since we have a GitHub repo for that (and since there are a lot of backporting links) I think it is best to do the redirect plan. I'll coordinate with you on this @samajammin. Thanks!

Please do :-)
I am kind of amazed that it hasn't already been sunset.
I personally wouldn't bother with any kind of "fancy" redirection. I doubt anybody has got bookmarks into this content.

What's the latest on that?

I think we should not keep outdated docs unmaintained. Redirections should be a viable solution unless someone wants to curate this repository.

Tagging @pirapira as well - looks like you merged a good amount of PRs 😄

Thanks for the input @bobsummerwill!

I actually think redirects are important here. The site has a surprising number of backlinks pointing to it, ~50K links from ~2K domains according to this SEO tool. It's unclear how much referral traffic they generate (I don't have access to analytics on the site) but I suspect it's worth us avoiding breaking those.

That is surprising.
Well, whatever you think is best on the redirections.

Hey @q9f - this work frankly hasn't been a priority for our team but we (hopefully) have found a contributor who can own this initiative. We are in discussions with them now & hopefully will have a clear plan within the next week or two.
