just like a folder with 1 file.
Why does osdev.org just link to the wiki?
Why not point strait to the wiki? It would be the exact same, just no wait.

Re: Home page
Im thinking its temporary until he can fix the front page to point directly to the wiki.
I personally do not like the change that much but it would aid in the issue of newcomers not searching before they post. ...At least I hope so

Code: Select all
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;http://wiki.osdev.org/" />
EDIT: to avoid post deletion, I'll just say this: that would be a temporary fix for having to wait for the refresh.

Yeah, and for all those with Noscript, we get a white page.

You can do it more simple:
Code: Select all
<body onload = "javascript:location.href = 'http://wiki.osdev.org';"></body>
But it's better to use META tag..

Re: Home page
No, it's better to use the Location: header!
HTTP 1.1 header > Meta tag > Javascript > Pointless redirecting homepage.

There are a mess load of mod_rewrite rules I need to change before I do that to keep all the old links around the web from breaking. If I just break all the links coming into the site then the Google page rank goes to hell. I'll probably get to it next month.
