Description:

At the bottome of the webpage, http://www.archlinux.org/press/ , the following request appears to which I am responding:

"If you have some press you would like linked, please open a Bug Ticket with the category "web site", and a relevant description."

I recently updated the Arch Press Review wiki page with a comprehensive set of links. Many of them came from the "Who's Talking About Arch?" page, but I added quite a few others. You might want to update the press page with these additional links. Please refer to this page for more info:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Press_Review

Also, the list of articles on "Who Talking About Arch?" is in alphabetical order, which makes it difficult to find reviews of the most recent Arch release. Is there some other way to present this information to ease this task?

The wiki page and the press page present largely duplicate information, requiring duplicate effort. Is there some way to merge them, or have them mirror each other, or link them?

Thank you for your consideration,
Luke Seubert

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Won't bother with a redirect...how many people would have bookmarked the old Press page? Two, maybe three?

The wiki page looks fantastic. I think we should simply redirect the Press link to point to the wiki article.

I have no problem with that, although there is something to be said for keeping the Arch press material on the official Arch website. I'll leave that judgement call in your hands though, as I am still relatively new to the Arch community, its policies, etc.

When I have to cease updating the wikipage on a regular basis, I'll be sure to hand off the job to somebody else.

Cheers,
Luke Seubert

Simo, do you have an opinion on this?

Frankly, for community-related information such as this (including international forum and IRC listings) I think it just makes sense to take advantage of the wiki for this. Fedora, Ubuntu, and SUSE all use their wiki software for this type of frequently-changing information.

Go Go Wiki.

Good day.

Just a follow up on this bug which I reported two months ago. The Arch Linux Press webpage remains unchanged, and out of date. Three people in these comments have supported the idea of redirecting the pagelink to the "Arch Linux Press Review" wikipage instead. As the creator of this bug, I concur with this suggestion. I am also the chief cat-herder of that particular wikipage, and I have been keeping it up to date, so it is a good alternative.

Please redirect the Arch Linux Press webpage link to the Arch Linux Press Review wikipage, so that this bug may be closed out.

Thank you,
Luke Seubert

I'll wrap this up as soon as my exams are over sometime after next Thursday.

Thank you Dan for changing the link on the main page of the Arch Linux website. It works great.

However, when I click on the following URL, I get a 404 error:

http://www.archlinux.org/press/

Could you please set up a redirect to the new page, using the same link currently on the Arch Linux main page? Some people might have bookmarked the old link.

For your convenience, that new link is:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Press_Review

Thank you,
Luke Seubert
