I support Wolfram about this. We should avoid symlinks as much as we
can. This breaks search engine's result by returning same contents
with multiple URLs.
We now have good consistency for layout of documents and translated
ones. We can get English Handbook via /handbook/ and Japanese Handbook
via /ja/handbook/.
One point we should consider is we have much documents than good old
days ((c) Wolfram :-)). But I think root namespace (such as /FAQ,
/handbook and /porters-handbook) is wide enough to cover documents
which we can write. So this is not a problem (of course it's only my
point of view).
Problems like web server's load can be solved easily by upgrading
machine for web server. But we should avoid beginner's confusion
which may be caused by "same contents which can be refered by multiple
URLs". The HTML is hypertext and why can we point *one* contents with
HTML anthor from another place? Is placing same copy (of course, it's
copy from user's point of view) with multiple URLs.
Comments?
