[Opensc-devel] OpenSC has a public relations problem

[Douglas E. E. <dee...@an...>]

We keep saying in responses to e-mails statements like:
  "The project do not use opensc-project.org any more.
   Read https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/wiki/OpenSC-Services"

But if an ordinary users Googles for OpenSC subjects
a reference to github may not even show up in the first 100
responses.

This continues to lead users to the old pages and the project
appears to be dead!

For example Google for:
  Getting started with OpenSC
shows https://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/GetStarted
Last updated 2 years ago.

But Google with it in quotes: "Getting started with OpenSC"
and github is first.
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/wiki/Getting-started-with-OpenSC
Updated 8 months ago.
(Don't ask me why Google does this, it just does.)

One way to help users find the up to date pages would be to add
to every page on the old
  https://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki

some box saying the project has moved to github,
and the Wiki can be found at:
https://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki

Or to search the new Wiki, preceed your search with site:github.com
to find this official wiki.

Any other suggestions?
