For redirects, Xavier has suggested using https://help.github.com/en/articles/redirects-on-github-pages to redirect to druid.apache.org as a way to transition before the domain migration occurs, and believes that it would have the same SEO effects as a 301 redirect after the new pages are indexed.
I think we could try migrating the current Community page to druid.apache.org with Github redirects and canonical links pointing to the https://druid.apache.org version. If that goes well, we could continue migrating more pages. What are the community's thoughts on that?
