home page of sizle: documentation link is broken about sizzle HOT 22 CLOSED

The redirect is in place!

https://sizzlejs.com

from sizzle.

I haven’t heard about this domain before but this behavior is not related to Sizzle, https://wiki.github.com/ behaves in the same way. Closing.

@cekvenich Where did you get this URL from?

from sizzle.

This should not be closed.
On https://sizzlejs.com the documentation link is not working! Please reopen.

from sizzle.

@gibson042 @timmywil BTW, the page is so old I think it'd be better to just redirect it to https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/wiki, removing the reference to the home page from that wiki. Maybe the discussion group should be archived as well, there hasn't been any posts there for more than 8 years.

from sizzle.

Some additional context: people can be led to https://sizzlejs.com because it is linked from a few different places on https://jquery.com, like the icon in the top header bar.

from sizzle.

We still want to fix the DNS.

from sizzle.

use this https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/wiki

from sizzle.

Hmm, I'm not sure where the source of https://sizzlejs.com/ is located. Can anyone else in @jquery/core help?

from sizzle.

That is the original site for Sizzle and was created by the jQuery team years ago. But I don't know where the source lives. It could honestly be ftp'd to some www folder. However, I don't think anyone is being led astray by that broken link. If you try to find Sizzle, you'll be led here.

from sizzle.

You are lead to the home page, and the first thing one would click is documentation - that is the broken link we are talking about. Seem like you should be able to get a handle to the DNS from the jquery team - now that their blog has said they will remove sizzle from jquery 4.0.

from sizzle.

I'd be happy to fix the link, but someone more familiar with that website will need to help out (maybe @scottgonzalez or @gnarf?).

from sizzle.

By the way, you're talking to the jQuery team. The site is old enough that it predates all of us.

from sizzle.

Reopening since we now have an issue to resolve: fixing the link on the home page.

from sizzle.

Yea, we should remove the link to the google group.

from sizzle.

Pinging more cool people @dmethvin @jquery/infrastructure @jquery/core-admin

from sizzle.

I think it's on a digital ocean droplet (simple-sites.ops.jquery.net) - no telling what the password is on that thing though

from sizzle.

Do we want to maintain that site? If not, we could just redirect the DNS to the Wiki and not try to track it down.

from sizzle.

@dmethvin I proposed exactly that in my comment above. :)

from sizzle.

@NReilingh Good point. Since we plan to retire Sizzle soon, perhaps we should remove that link from the jQuery site.

from sizzle.

Curious @mgol anywhere to follow along where v.4 is at timeline wise (removal of Sizzle)? Tnx

from sizzle.

@Mapiac No specific timeline but I have a WIP PR (jquery/jquery#4395) that first inlines Sizzle in jQuery & then removes all obsolete workarounds etc. This will be the first step, later on we'll simplify the code further, removing manual traversal code. But after the mentioned PR runs all the code used in jQuery will be directly in the jQuery repository; code from this Sizzle repo will only be used on the 3.4-stable branch.

from sizzle.

I've just merged another PR that ports most Sizzle tests to jQuery so that we don't miss anything when doing the refactor: jquery/jquery#4406.
