There are a number of projects in the rust-lang GitHub organization with web sites.
Some, such as This Week in rust have their own domain name.
Others, such as cargo are published as a folder in a subdomain such as doc.
Others such as rust-clippy are hosted on the GitHub.io domain.
However the main page of the github.io site is 404.
Probably it is not just me who occasionally lands on that page and is confused.
I think it would be a good idea to put a simple page there to create a main page for https://rust-lang.github.io/
In addition I think it would be better to move all the sites that are now using the github.io domain to the rust-lang.org domain. e.g. rust-clippy.rust-lang.org and mdbook.rust-lang.org
- better branding
- independence from GitHub (inbound links will all go to a rust-lang.org site)
Was this discussed and rejected? Who can make these changes? How could I help to make these changes happen?
Technically, using a subdomain under rust-lang.org is very easy.
- setup DNS
- Configure in each repo the specific subdomain
It "just" needs a decision, talking to the project admins, the rights to make these changes.
