Based on some of the on going discussions, wanted to get opinions on how to get podling websites bootstrapped a bit easier.
When I review https://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html it seems pretty clear what we expect on a podling website. I'm wondering if during the bootstrapping phase (first 3 months or so of the project at Apache, in my mind at least) it would be OK if the podlings website just redirected to their status page. This avoid unnecessary 404's for the project, and gives them some time to move their infrastructure over. Once they have their website up and running (either migrated or created from scratch) then they can switch the redirect to point to their actual content. I would imagine this can be done with a .htaccess file, similar to what's done for retired podlings. Thoughts?
