            Bug ID: 70107
           Summary: ABOUT_APACHE: =E2=80=9DBroken link=E2=80=9D to
                    http://www.netcraft.com/survey/
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

The last paragraph of the introduction of the ABOUT_APACHE file reads:
> The survey by Netcraft (http://www.netcraft.com/survey/) shows that Apach=
e is today more widely used than all other web servers combined.

As reported in https://github.com/apache/httpd-site/issues/33, that pseudo-=
link
is basically broken, now pointing to Netcraft=E2=80=99s blog. I suggest eit=
her removing
the =E2=80=9Clink=E2=80=9D or rephrasing to clarify how to access the lates=
t results.

By the way:
1. It is good practice to avoid the word =E2=80=9Ctoday=E2=80=9D in documen=
ts which are not
dated, preferring "as of YYYY-MM-DD" to make it easier to spot outdated
content.
2. The duplicating webpage (ABOUT_APACHE.html) is a whole lot less outdated
than the distributed file.
