Hi Dimitri,

At first I thought it wasn't that bad. After having googled stuff about
TYPO3 I began to feel very disappointed too. Almost half the links point
to typo3.org and EVERYTHING is broken. It should be possible to provide
redirects to the old URL's with the realurl configuration. Old links
could be phased out after an x amount of time. Unfortunately the new
links on TYPO3.org are not very meaningful too. I think to have some
permanent links is of utmost importance. Obviously there is no policy
about that and I have suggested to have a look at that.

Please bear in mind that some people have been very busy with this.
Maybe there is a way where you can provide some assistance in solving
the problems you (and i) mention. That would seem fair.
