[tei-council] Fwd: Re: TEI Project at SourceForge; Subversion Repository; Issue trackers

[Kevin Hawkins]

James (and others),

Given that the IDs of tracker items were unfortunately not maintained in 
the upgrade, I guess we will need to keep the PURL system resolving only 
to tracker rather than repurposing it for the new syntax.  Are we going 
to create a new PURL syntax that resolves to the new SF system or not 
bother, instead using the fairly human-friendly URLs of the new system 
without bothering with any sort of PURL?

Did any part of the upgrade process say how long the redirects would be 
maintained by SourceForge?  Based on that answer, do we have a sense of 
how much value there is in updating URLs in old TCM documents etc. to 
point to the new tracker URLs?  That is, at some point these links will 
break, but it can be helpful to reconstruct a discussion to look at the 
ticket.  On the other hand, the longer ago something was, the less 
likely it is that we will need to (or bother to) dig so deep.
