[PROJ] PROJ (and GDAL) webpages

[Javier Jimenez Shaw]

Current situation in PROJ and GDAL webpages:
---------------------
PROJ
proj.org -> https://proj.org/en/9.5/

https://proj.org/robots.txt

User-agent: *

Disallow: # Allow everything

Sitemap: https://proj.org/sitemap.xml

---------------------
GDAL

gdal.org -> https://gdal.org/en/latest/

https://gdal.org/robots.txt

User-agent: *

Disallow: # Allow everything

Sitemap: https://gdal.org/sitemap.xml
---------------------

I have the impression (maybe I misunderstood) that both the automatic
redirection and the robots should be pointing to "stable". (GDAL
didn't have "stable" url at the beginning, I know)

That will make search engine indexers don't have to remake the index,
with the consequent degradation in the position. Also will not point
somebody to an old version of the software. It is good that the old
versions are there in case you need it, but search engines should
point to "stable" (and IMHO not to latest, with functionalities that
are may not be released yet).

What do you think?

There was a problem in PROJ after the last release. Maybe we can fix
it to be ready for the next release in a couple of weeks.

BTW, should I send this email also to GDAL mailing list?

Cheers,

Javier
