Hi everyone,
I would like to have your inputs on how to proceed from here. It has
been some time since I notified Eclipse Foundation about this problem.
I don't see a lot of movement? See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=270910

As the webmaster of this site I feel responsible for it and I think we
should do something. At a minimum we could put up a notice at that
location that there is a problem and/or redirect traffic to EPF
project site or something. Currently any user trying to access content
via Google, bookmarks, (deep) links will just have to wait a long time
and then get a page not found error.

Because I didn't want to just wait and do nothing, I have put a backup
copy online of all the content at a different location
http://restored.epfwiki.net/. Also I have changed the EPF project
website: all the links now point to the backup location. A substantial
portion of the traffic originates from this location. The biggest part
of traffic however originates from links provided by the Google search
engine so for this reason I think it would be best to just redirect
all traffic to the backup location or EPF project website.

Shall I ask Eclipse webmaster to redirect all traffic to the backup location?

Best Regards,
Onno
