ftp.gnustep.org is down and has been for some time.

As per Fred: “JS libraries we are using are really dated. We need to update Bootstrap and jQuery.”

Proposed tasks:

0. rework anything in the current repo (gnustep.github.io repo) that uses PHP to stop doing so

   • this includes downloads and RSS feeds
   • for RSS, we should explore the jekyll-feed plugin (https://dev.to/dzhavat/adding-an-rss-feed-to-github-pages-2col)

1. create file CNAME in gnustep.github.io with contents www.gnustep.org

2. in hosting control panel, change www.gnustep.org to be old.gnustep.org (to signal that this is a site that is not -- or is rarely -- updated)

   • for example, if there's a record www, change it to old
   • this may require teaching the web server to handle the new hostname ("if you see old.gnustep.org in the Host: header, treat it as if it said www by sending it to the same PHP plugin/PHP fastcgi daemon/PHP cgi daemon")

3. in hosting panel, create new CNAME record www

   • have it point to gnustep.github.io. (including trailing dot)

4. note that wiki has a CNAME to wwwmain already

   • wwwmain, just like www, is an A record pointing at 81.201.190.216
   • wiki is a mediawiki site, so it likely requires PHP
   • proposed: change wiki from CNAME to an A record pointing at 81.201.190.216 to allow for future deprecation of wwwmain

5. handle wwwmain

   • proposed: leave wwwmain as is for now, and track fixing it in another bug
     • we need to update gnustep.github.io not to use PHP URLs from www or wwwmain anyway
     • once that's done, wwwmain should be replaced with 301/302 redirects to www
     • ideally 301/302 redirects can be done by the web server (presumably exposed by the hosting provider, as the bare domain gnustep.org already redirects to www.gnustep.org automatically)
   • fixing this should not be postponed too long, as it will -- like old -- drift away from gnustep.github.io without active maintenance

6. update reverse lookup for 81.201.190.216 to old.gnustep.org. or to wwwmain.gnustep.org.

Per our discussion in November, @hmelder came up with the idea of creating a webpage to track this information. Per that conversation it would:

1. Track existing headers
2. Track Cocoa headers
3. Compare the two to determine how compliant we are with the current API

I am adding this here so that we have a place to track it. Please feel free to add a new repo to do this.

Apply header updates in 45bebac to the other pages.
