Thanks for the heads-up. These didn't turn up in my grep-ing since I was
only looking for http://.

There are additiona links for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and
2016 (in http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/general.html)
which I cannot find at all in the current elegosoft.com site.

However "... meets in Berlin for a Hackathon once a year: 2016, 2015, ..."
doesn't seem very current. For this reason I'd suggest to remove the
complete paragraph from HACKING. Other option to rephrase "in the past ...
met in Berlin" and link to archive.org.

Oh, sorry. Missed one step: Remove _US from the redirection target, which
in turn redirects to:

https://www.elegosoft.com/en/nachlese-subversion-hackathon-berlin-2013/

I thought about this but I couldn't invent a way to inject the interviews
within archive.org and thus it didn't provide a good user expericen, which
is why I didn't list this as an option.

Alright. And it might be possible to only update this within the website
and not changing the old tags/regenerating the docs from source so no
voting required at all. However since it is quite a bit of work I'll only
do it if someone say "we MUST".

I'll try to find some time to update the docstrings in /trunk within the
next few weeks.

Kind regards
