Some teams (packageing, for instance) already moved their content to
live.go and say so on dgo. Others, such as the usability team, still
need to do that.

Check: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/ for their status, but
that's not urgent, anyway.

Pieces of the other information on dgo -- architecture, for instance --
looks usable for wgo/technology/. wgo/documentation looks usable for
library.go.

The rest of dgo is more or less rubbish.

I'd like to suggest that we simply remove the link from the header when
wgo/technology/ is ready. I'm trying to write the first draft right now
but this is a PITA because I know nothing about GNOME's technology.

This way, newcomers won't run into dgo, and for people following old
links we can simply edit the header image with a big red sign saying:
"Depreciated. Visit lgo." or so.

An automatic redirect is not always the best solution: Some people may
like to read the exact old content.

I'd be interested in the answer, too.

According to google, there was a google SOC bounty for library.go but I
found no results. Everybody seems to think documents will go there but
nobody has an idea how this should *really* look like.

Maybe we should start a wiki page to collect everybody's thoughts, and
potential solutions? I'm sure the documentation team likes to be part
of the library.go decision. It's them who will need to keep the content
up to date, isn't it?

Cheers,
Claus
