F2F: Do this sooner rather than later

[jakearchibald]

F2F: We need to decide if we want the repo to redirect, or the pages.

We should ask github if they can help us do both.

[jakearchibald]

F2F: we don't care too much where the project lives, we care way more about broken links

[slightlyoff]

Re "doing both", the proximate issue we're facing is that we don't know of any way (today) to redirect both project links and GH Pages URLs to the new location at the same time. It seems possible to do one or the other, but not both. See: https://github.com/blog/1508-repository-redirects-are-here

IIRC you need to create a 'slightlyoff.github.io' repo in which you can create a ServiceWorker dir, then the tree to the document you want to redirect, finally a minimal document with some js to redirect fragments.

Transferring the repo to github.com/w3c/ and then replace /spec/service_worker/index.html in the gh-pages branch of the original repo with a minimal document having the following script may work? (the same for /spec/service_worker_1/index.html)

<script>
  var element = document.createElement('meta');
  element.setAttribute('http-equiv', 'refresh');
  element.setAttribute('content', '0; url=https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/spec/service_worker/' + location.hash);
  document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(element);
</script>

Transferring the repo to github.com/w3c/ and then replace /spec/service_worker/index.html in the gh-pages branch of the original repo

The problem is that by recreating the original repo you lose redirects for things like issues. But I believe that what @ylafon suggested should work: put that redirect document in a "slightlyoff.github.io" repo as ServiceWorker/spec/service_worker/index.html.

Btw, ping me when you plan to do this, as specific right are required for the move.

Pre F2F notes: Alex says this can be done on Saturday.

[aliams]

Is this still on track to be moved?

[jakearchibald]

@slightlyoff what's the status on this?

[slightlyoff]

Done.
