Re: [rdf4j-dev] archive.rdf4j.org - old sesame documentation
Hi Jeen,

One thing the user brought up was that there are a few links to the archive.rdf4j.org domain on some stackoverflow posts, and keeping those intact would be nice. 

A fourth option could be to set up a page that redirects the user to GitHub when they visit archive.rdf4j.org, keeping the url path intact so that links still work. If we want to make it extra obvious that the docs aren’t hosted by RDF4J then we could have the redirect not be a redirect but instead have it generate a simple page with a link and a note informing the user that the docs have moved and are not hosted by us. 

I’ve forgotten my username and/or password to the server that hosts rdf4j, do you know if Eclipse can help me reset it? That way I can check if it’s feasible to make a redirect page.

My personal take on this is that Sesame was decommissioned almost a decade ago, and there comes a time where it stops being our responsibility to provide documentation for it.

There's also the fact that the Eclipse Foundation doesn't own the rights to the Sesame name or the logo. I don't mind a link from the project website to an (externally maintained) archive, but I don't think we should add this documentation into our own code repositories.

Hi,

We've had a user reach out looking for the old documentation that was available at archive.rdf4j.org.


The domain used to point to a github repo https://github.com/Swirrl/archive-sesame but the dns record was removed about 6 months ago due to concerns about security.


I would really like to get archive.rdf4j.org back up again and I'm considering three options:

 1. Accept the minor security concerns of archive.rdf4j.org pointing to a github repo that is not in our control, assuming good faith on account of the author of the repo having spent time together with Jeen to reproduce the old documentation.

2. Ask Swirrl, the owners of the repo if they could transfer it to the new eclipse-rdf4j github organisation.

3. Fork the repo with the new eclipse-rdf4j github organisation.



For the time being I have forked the repo with my company account and enabled github pages to make the documentation available here: https://hasmac-as.github.io/archive-sesame/

I would really appreciate some feedback and guidance on this!

Cheers,
Håvard
