Hi all, Is it possible to set up shortened URLs for KIPs? So instead of, say:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-966%3A+Eligible+Leader+Replicas We could refer to it as: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-966 Or maybe even go so far as to have something like: https://kafka.apache.org/kips/KIP-966 I know the wiki has a way to generate a short URL (e.g. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/mpOzDw), but, IMO, it’s so opaque as to be nearly worthless. Pros: 1. Succinct: great for written documentation 2. Discoverability: it’s predictable and easy to find 3. Robust: the URL doesn’t break when the KIP title changes Cons: 1. Time 2. Money 3. Perpetual maintenance: requires 100% commitment indefinitely I know the list of cons is probably much more than I realize. At this point I’m just wondering if it’s even a desired mechanism. Thoughts? Thanks, Kirk
