Wired on HOPE: Hart/Newby presentation

Michael and I presented at the HOPE conference a couple of weeks ago. (Michael was the keynote speaker, I was the lackey.) There's a nice article about the conference, including an actual picture of Michael and I together (one of very few that exists!). http://wired.com/news/technology/0,71450-0.html -- Greg

Yes, it's a nice article, and it mentions Project Gutenberg. But, *sigh*, it links to: http://promo.net/pg/index.html I can understand when webpages that have not been updated for many years link to that URL, but I would hope that newer ones would use gutenberg.org.

Do we have the ability to update the promo.net page to provide a non-transparent redirection to the gutenberg.org homepage? For example, "The Project Gutenberg homepage has moved to gutenberg.org. If your browser does not automatically redirect you in five seconds, click here." Even if we had to leave leaf pages alone (because of deep linking), making this change should prevent the situation from becoming any further entrenched. -----Original Message----- From: gutvol-d-bounces@lists.pglaf.org [mailto:gutvol-d-bounces@lists.pglaf.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Sly Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 11:58 PM To: Project Gutenberg Volunteer Discussion Subject: Re: [gutvol-d] Wired on HOPE: Hart/Newby presentation Yes, it's a nice article, and it mentions Project Gutenberg.

We've requested this for years. email webmaster@promo.net to make your views heard. He has not listened so far... the person in charge there is Pietro diMicelli, who was our Webmaster from about 1995 - 2002. -- Greg
