README

utility site that redirects defunct domains or subdomains to real railsbridge sites

To add or change a redirect:

 * edit config.ru
 * edit app_test.rb to add some tests for your new redirect
 * run "ruby app_test.rb" to run some unit tests and make sure you didn't break anything
 * run "heroku domains:add newdomain.railsbridge.org" if necessary
 * git add .; git push; git push heroku to deploy

The heroku app is named railsbridge-redirector.heroku.com and is currently owned by alex@stinky.com

builders.railsbridge.org - defunct, redirects to http://railsbridge.org

www.railsbridge.org/* - redirects to http://railsbridge.org/*

---

Notes:

workshops.railsbridge.org is running a wordpress site on dreamhost. There are several bogus links in the page header:

 -- Courseware points to railstutor.org which has been camped
 -- Builders points to builders.railsbridge.org which is defunct
 -- Mentors points to railsmentors.org which is run by Brian Hogan and has Railsbridge branding in the footer ("© 2009-2011 Rails Mentors, a part of RailsBridge sponsored by New Auburn Personal Computer Services LLC")
 -- Teaching Kids points to http://teachingkids.railsbridge.org/ which is live but old
 -- Ruby Challenge points to http://rubychallenge.com/ which is not active and is owned by a private registrant

summary/proposal:
* I'll put in a 301 redirect for builders.railsbridge.org since that's the only domain I control (it's a subdomain)
* I'll also 301 www.railsbridge.org/* to railsbridge.org/*
* someone needs to remove Courseware, Builders, Mentors, and also probably Ruby Challenge links from the header of the wordpress site
