numpy.scipy.org page 404s
Dear Numpy Webmasters, Would it be possible to either redirect numpy.scipy.org to www.numpy.org or to the main numpy github landing page? Currently numpy.scipy.org hits a Github 404 page. As the numpy.scipy.org site still shows up in searches it would be useful to have that address resolve to something more helpful. Thank you for your time and help, Chris

+1 for fixing this - I tried to report this back in February, but checking the archive my email seems to have gotten lost. I noticed this from a manuscript in proof when the copy editor pointed out http://numpy.scipy.org wasn't working. As http://numpy.scipy.org used to be a widely used URL for the project, and likely appears in many printed references, fixing it to redirect to the (relatively new) http://www.numpy.org would be good.

If I understand that correctly, you'll need to point the numpy.scipy.org CNAME to a non-github IP, and install a HTTP redirect **or** a HTTPD rewrite on that IP. So we need to find a server to do that. Probably easiest to ask numfocus, right? Cheers, Andreas.

There's no need. We'll just use the existing www.scipy.org Apache server to host the redirects. -- Robert Kern

Good. I have no clue about who operates which servers, and just assumed numfocus is doing that. BTW, is there help needed in server administration (for numpy, scipy, or whatever)? I could happily volunteer to help out. Cheers, Andreas.

Enthought hosts and administers the scipy.org domain.

Right now, the recurring cost is kicking the www.scipy.org wiki every once in a while under the deluge of spam. The best way to stop that is to help finish the migration of content to the new static site: https://github.com/scipy/scipy.org-new I think the major TODO items there are the conversion of the Topical Software and Cookbook pages. I can give dumps of the current wiki pages to anyone who wants to help with that. -- Robert Kern
Should be fixed now. Ognen On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Robert Kern <robert.kern@gmail.com> wrote:

It's dying a slow death again. How about restricting editing pages to people in EditorGroup? There should be an option in Moin config for that. I don't think there is any other solution to the spam with the Moin wiki at present. -- Pauli Virtanen

Done.
How do we go about removing the spam pages? They seem to be hurting the site's performance quite a lot --- for instance, http://scipy.org/Cookbook doesn't load currently. A good assumption is probably that new pages created in the past couple of weeks are all spam... -- Pauli Virtanen

Manually. I have a whitelist of known-good pages that helps narrow it down. I'll take care of it in a few hours. -- Robert Kern
