Phobos documentation was restructured, and the new structure is good. However, changing the URLs for the documentation has left behind a few broken links, some of which I'm seeign in Google search results. For example, this page I just saw.

http://dlang.org/library/std/traits/ValueType.html

This is bad for two reasons.

1. For humans, a dead link means that something is just a little harder to find.
2. For Google and SEO, the site might lose some ranking in searcch results, as popular pages are now probably considered dead completely by Google.

We sould track down the old links and redirect to the new documentation pages.

I also noticed that we are hosting two different versions of the Phobos documentation, one in one format for 2.066, and another in another format for 2.067. See these two pages for example.

http://dlang.org/library/std/traits.html
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html

So again, a series of redirects is needed. If someone has control over Webmaster Tools, that would be a good way to find a list of 404s to sort out.

We changed dpl-docs format from CamelCase to underscore because Andrei used a case-insensitive file system on OSX. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/pull/129

I might look into that, it's quite some work though.
Can we feed them the sitemap instead?
http://dlang.org/library/sitemap.xml

That's intended /library/ is the "new" documentation generated by ddox/dpl-docs with one page per entity.

Working on a fix, will hopefully be deployed tomorrow.
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/951

BTW, we could really need more people with frontend/web skills to help us with dlang.org.

It looks like the sitemap has the IPv4 localhost IP address in it, instead of the site's domain name. I'm pretty sure that will need to be fixed too.

I can probably help a little, if there's a bug list of things
that need to be done, etc.

Well, there is https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?component=websites&list_id=199823&query_format=advanced&resolution=---, but it's mostly about documentation issues.

I think the best help would be to enable notifications (watch) for https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org and review pull requests.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/949 https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/938

The other help would be to improve "ugly" parts, e.g. the code run example.
