find replacements for broken links

Open WardCunningham opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Many of the external links 404 but can be found at archive.org or elsewhere.

Devise a scheme for substituting replacement addresses for these links. Perhaps this could be a one time sweep through the pages or an onclick engaged replacement suggestion mechanism.

For example, the image on the JaronLanier page http://c2.com/wiki/remodel/?JaronLanier/

Can be found in the archive https://web.archive.org/web/20060707233440/http://www.exhibitresearch.com/kevin/nyc/jaron/khen.gif

Where those links might be in the page? <a> and <img> src attributes? Did you grep all external links already?
