Should prev.rust-lang.org
be shut down?
#2102
Comments
Has this actually happened to you or someone you know? My gut feeling says this is very unlikely. I don't know why it's still up but I also don't see much harm in keeping it up. I'm neutral on this. |
I'd be in favor of shutting it down with a redirect. @rust-lang/infra ? |
I accidentally found it as part of rust-lang/surveys#322 (comment). It certainly was a bit confusing, but I was aware of the latest Rust version and the As mentioned a bit in #2101, maybe the greatest risk is that users accidentally find it when looking for Rust content in a specific language, especially if the old page was translated in that language and the new one isn't (e.g. for German). Then chances might be higher that they see the old page in the search results. |
Currently the old website is still running on https://prev.rust-lang.org. There are the following potential problems with it (at least from my external perspective):
prev.rust-lang.org
has no new website banner on translated pages #2101)So would it make sense to shut down
prev.rust-lang.org
? If necessary the old information can probably still be found in https://github.com/rust-lang/prev.rust-lang.org (see also #291).Might need additional changes then to update and remove references to
prev.rust-lang.org
