Re: [Jython-dev] Website - Archived versions

[Jim B. <jim...@py...>]

CPython does something similar. See for example
https://docs.python.org/release/2.1/ and enjoy its classic look & feel :)

I do agree that if we can remove some styling elements to suggest the old
home page is the Jython home page, that would be great. It would be
hopefully straightforward, maybe with a Python script or two to help.

We do need to check for 404 errors, see for example the incorrect link
https://jamesmudd.github.io/jython-old-sites/oldsites.html, which is found
off of https://jamesmudd.github.io/jython-old-sites/ under "Archived
sites". Easy enough to fix.
