Broken link to Carpentries "connect" page

Open anenadic opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

What is the problem?

https://carpentries.org/connect/ link is broken - looks like the carpentries.org website has been revamped recently and this page does not exist any more. It should contain infomration about mailiing lists, Slack, newsletter, etc. The closest page that would match this is in the Handbook: https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/communications/tools/.

Location of problem (optional)

https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/instructor/15-carpentries.html

@sheraaronhurt can core team look at this?

There are other issues with broken links @brownsarahm - e.g. I did a PR to fix another one I discovered but potentially there could be more.

We are teaching IT tomorrow - it would be great if at least some of the links could be fixed 🙏 .

I suspect there are actually a lot based on what you have just identified, I raised this as a flag to other maintainers, the fact that there is not even an obvious fix means we need to wait for core team input, since they own the website. Perhaps @froggleston can also help with this.

The url https://carpentries.org/connect/ should now be working. I can go through the IT curriculum to look for any others, but Trainers can also share what they find as well so I can fix it.

Thank you @maneesha 🙏 - another small issue that I noticed is that info on how to join The Carpentries Slack is gone from all contact/get involved/community pages (but that's an issue with the website - I'll put an issue there).

The updates to the carpentries website fixed this.
