We should have those most-often-needed pages there, as they are not going to collide with the new structure (I prefer directories too, makes stuff more simple to maintain) - The pages would just contain a template to "this page is moved to [insert new url here]", once there are no hits to them in the logs anymore, we can remove them. And I think the best fallback thing to do is to have the "404 Document not found" -page be a site map: ----------------------------------- ---- -- - - - Oops, the page you are looking for is not found! Please, have a look below for the information you are looking for: * About the Gimp * Download -short info blurb here -short info blurb here * Learn to use Gimp! * Get new plugins -short info blurb here -short info blurb here * No good? Then why not visit our _main page_ and try looking around in there? If you came through a link from another website, please be kind and inform the webmaster to update their link! Thank you!
