Next step for the aegir community site - Post OA 1.x [#2537574]

http://community.aegirproject.org/ is currently stuck on OpenAtrium 1.x, which is deprecated. So something needs to happen.

We've already started to move parts to external services to unburden ourselves from the maintenance. See the related issues.

Options:

Build something new
Replace with a redirect to ?
???

TODO:

Make a static archive of the current content.

@cweagans created an archive which is now served on: http://community-archive.aegirproject.org

Storage is on: https://github.com/aegir-project/community-archive/

For the replacement vhost I suggest:

redirect /issues to the combined issue queues
redirect /archive to http://community-archive.aegirproject.org/
redirect / and anything else to https://aegir.readthedocs.org/en/3.x/help/contact/ (which has a link to the communitysite archive)

I've prepared a vhost on our project server with rewrite rules as per #1.

We just have to update the DNS ...

I've also removed the login links and search from the archived page headers... and added a note to indicate it's an archive.

as @ergonlogic added an even better banner to the archive I think we're ready to update the DNS. So I just did.

The CNAME previously pointed to: lb.aegir.koumbit.net.

Last TODO would be to notify koumbit that the site can be removed from their servers.

I've now updated the CNAME file and DNS record to point http://community.aegirproject.org/ to github-pages, and let http://community-archive.aegirproject.org/ be redirected to it.

One extra page of interest is /donate which has a few direct links to it, e.g. the support block we added in the hostmaster profile. We need to create a replacement for that.
