Very nice work.

I would just like to give a small suggestion, which is to have 301
HTTP redirects from some non conflicting URL spaces on www.zope.org to
old.zope.org, so that we don't lose search engine indexing and ranking
of the old pages. Ex: the members area:

www.zope.org/Members/itamar/CorruptedZODB ->
old.zope.org/Members/itamar/CorruptedZODB

This should be very easy to achieve with a small number of "Redirect"
Apache directives specifying "permanent" redirections.

Cheers,

Leo
