The sort-of (at least formerly) official homepage for CDAO at http://www.evolutionaryontology.org remains hosted at Sourceforge, where it is very difficult to maintain and update it. (As a consequence, some of the links, including to CDAO itself, are badly outdated.)

Found a way to sftp into the hosting server. Pulled an archive version of the content, and updated some links and redirects for now. Specifically, updated the redirect so it goes to this repo for www.evolutionaryontology.org/cdao/1.0/cdao.owl, which is the IRI of CDAO's v1.0 version.

As for the bad news, the site uses .htaccess-encoded Apache redirect instructions, which don't carry over to Github Pages. This includes the IRI of the v1.0 CDAO release. Github Pages can do redirects, but these only work within a site. I.e., no redirects to URLs external to the site. (There is a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=TARGETURL"> workaround, but since it isn't based on HTTP status response codes, it's unclear (and in fact quite unlikely) that this would even work with the OWL API or other standard ontology consuming software.

Put the website documents previously pulled from Sourceforge here under the gh-pages branch. Also installed a ./eo redirect (for HTML clients only), put the CDAO v1.0 version at the static path location that corresponds to the IRI.

The domain is not yet switched over, but this could be the next step.
