(sorry for late reaction, I'm still checking stuff, and Sven is
precariously hanging by his fingers off some rocks somewhere in France
for a few days... no, not as punishment, he thinks that is kinda fun)

The problem is that really, the two rewrites above only work in less
than 40% of cases. There has been much re-naming, and sorting. Also a
number of external products were 'harmed' (as in: updated their
documentation structure), so also the 'external' part is not the same
anymore.

Now, that may seem unlikely against anyone's personal set of bookmarks,
especially yours! But yes overall it is true.

I'm not that willing to set up 301's to new 404's, as that will for sure
make da Google angry... so setting up these generic ones is a bad idea.

Re-directs are being added on a regular basis, but then specific ones,
based on actual 404's coming in.


If people want to commit time and start a file with rewrite-rules on
github (in the github.com/plone/papyrus directory, that would be the
best place) that would be great, but please not as generic as the ones
above.


in the meantime: there is now both a Firefox plugin
https://github.com/svx/plone.docs.firefox and a Sublime plugin
https://github.com/svx/search_plone_docs to help ease transitioning.
