I've discussed this with Dirk, who is willing to redirect the
jdocentral.com URL to an Apache JDO URL.
So, where do we want to redirect it?
db.apache.org/jdo
db.apache.org/jdo/jdocentral.html
The real question is whether we want to have a dedicated landing zone
that we know is from people asking for jdocentral, or simply land on
the main page. I haven't thought too much about this; suggestions
welcome.
