Mithril.js: mithriljs.org site points to 0.2

Created on 30 Jan 2017  Â·  12Comments  Â·  Source: MithrilJS/mithril.js

The old(?), canonical (?) URL to the Mithril homepage currently points to the 0.2 site, which probably isn't intended: http://mithriljs.org/

Old docs are archived and available already.

Still doesn't help with mithriljs.org though.

1.0 was officially released a moment ago, so assume the homepage will switch shortly?

mithriljs.org IMHO should do a 403 redirect. It's surprising it doesn't, to say the least.

There should also be a way to toggle to 0.2.X docs.

I'm actually not sure who owns mithriljs.org. The canonical URL is mithril.js.org

But it would be great to have 0.2.x docs online...

@paranoicsan is right, there are going to be a lot of unexpected results when looking for resources (I've been on Stackoverflow recently and it's a shame I couldn't be sure how to link to relevant documentation — also knowing all my historical references to Mithril docs are broken, making legacy solution posts incoherent).

@tivac Great! Thanks. Only problem is I'm not sure how you found that, so I imagine others will have that problem also.

@stevenmwade Yeah, I'll try and add something in the nav/footer when I get some time.

The link to the older docs is already in the left nav, under Misc > Change log/Migration > Older docs

I don't have control over mithriljs.org and I don't know who does, so let's just say it's an unofficial mirror of the old site.

I suggest to add a link below Misc: "v.0.2 Documentation".

@ArthurClemens is right, the fact that that v1 has been published should not relegate old docs to obscurity — they should be more prominent.

I've culled the outdated docs from the new site, so people following old links are getting 404s, but we should think about a good holistic solution for making old reference material easy to access and find.
