Plans for new WoT webpage launch on March 1st

[sebastiankb]

• The target date for the new WoT welcome page should be March 1st, 2021.
• A rehearsal should take place on February 26th, 2021.
• In the meantime we have to clarify the contents and old existing webpages hosted at w3c side (@danielpeintner provide details of the current discussion with @koalie, see here)
• In addition, we will call the WoT group to review the current status of the new web page and provide feedback.

Existing content under https://www.w3.org/WoT/

@draggett suggests to keep them as is as a historic record of early work.

https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/ (proxy to the WoT IG blog https://www.w3.org/blog/wotig/)

It should proxy to https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/ig/

Note: we decided keeping up with our own blog is too much work. We also said that IF we want to make a blog entry we can do it within the general W3C blog (https://www.w3.org/blog/) with a "WoT" label or so.

https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/track/ (legacy Tracker that was archived)

@ashimura confirmed that we don't use the W3C Tracker any more.

The https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/wiki/ space should exist further, we use it a lot!

@ashimura mentioned that we used the figure in the past. The concept is already included in the WoT Architecture spec and we don't need that figure any more.

https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/ (proxy to https://w3c.github.io/wotwg/)

It should proxy to https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/wg/

https://www.w3.org/WoT/ws-2019/ (proxy to
https://w3c.github.io/wot/workshop/ws2/)

I think we can leave it as it is right now.

we should add the link behind the video preview of the welcome page when the video is available on youtube or w3c

[sebastiankb]

In today's marketing call we have to check the status of

• Pr 120 followup #122
• WoT Video page - Navigation #123
• How to handle the WoT Japanese CG? #121 --> @ashimura @k-toumura will provide a description and provide a PR (@danielpeintner will support)
• New WoT WG page should be upper-compatible to the current one #84
• add blog proposal for video #117
• Check Links and HTML Syntax of Web page #130

Hi all, since last week, the systems team performed successfully a few tests to validate the suggested redirection setup approach. I am happy to relay that we are ready on our side and to please confirm the date of when to do the switch.

[danielpeintner]

One final note. Before we setup the redirection we need to change the following line

wot-marketing/docs/_config.yml

Line 5 in 6e4d039

baseurl: "/wot-marketing"

to
baseurl: "/WoT"
since this will be the new baseurl (see https://www.w3.org/WoT/).

[ashimura]

I worked with the System Team and now:
https://www.w3.org/WoT/
and
https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/
are identical using the redirection.

The other requirements are as follows:

• @draggett 's old contents to be kept as a historic record:

  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/demos/rdf/
  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/demos/shrl/
  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/demos/td2ttl/
  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/talks/2016-04-27.pdf

• IG page redirection:

  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/ig/
  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/ig/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/ig/
  • need yet another redirection for https://www.w3.org/WoT/ig/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/ig/ ? also see *Nicer* 404 page #139
  • how to handle https://www.w3.org/blog/wotig/ ? - OK to simply keep it as a historic record? also Transforming all wotig blog entries to the w3c main blog #142

• IG Tracker:

  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/track/ removed

• Wiki pages:

  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/wiki/Main_Page kept as is

• Kaz's old images:

  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/kaz/protocol-binding.{png,svg} simply removed

• WG page redirection

  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/WG/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/wg/
  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/wg/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/wg/
  • need yet another redirection for https://www.w3.org/WoT/Wg/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/wg/ ?
  • how to handle https://w3c.github.io/wotwg/ ? - kept as a historic record?

• 2nd workshop page:

  • https://www.w3.org/WoT/ws-2019/ => https://w3c.github.io/wot/workshop/ws2/

Let's check the results at:
https://www.w3.org/WoT/
and
https://w3c.github.io/wot-marketing/
to see if there are any remaining issues there.
