Re: [Treebase-devel] Rod Page on TreeBASEII

[Jon A. <jon...@du...>]

We could :
1) keep the old site up and running and redirect all '/cgi-bin/foo' requests to the old server (seems backward)
2) Fix the 404 page to send users to the search page or custom 404 page (we should do this irregardless)
3) Create a lookup table that maps legacy taxonIDs to new ones. Seems like a one time thing, cause all new studies will not have legacy ID, right?
4) do #2 and not worry about the rest

Just me 2 cents worth.
