Some external sites are no longer available:
The community outrach and community meetings pages both have many broken links corresponding to past events. I don't know what these should link to. These should point at the corresponding files in https://github.com/SynBioDex/Community-Media
Fixed the image issues with the last PR. The problem was that in wowchemy 5.0, the "static/img" folder had to be renamed to "static/media". Link: https://wowchemy.com/updates/v5.0.0-beta.0/#apply-breaking-changes
We should check for the other breaking chanches
Also, we should check the image source location for the images that @hasanbaig changed on the SBOL Industrial Consortium page, and revert them back to the original reference.
Also, https://sbolstandard.org/sbol-visual-ontology/ has links that resolve to http://synbiodex.github.io/SBOL-visual/Glyphs/aptamer/aptamer-specification.png and http://synbiodex.github.io/SBOL-visual/Glyphs/aptamer/aptamer-specification.svg which are broken.
I ran linkchecker on https://sbolstandard.org

The first will be easy to fix. For the second we'll have to see if we can find the presentation info.
linkchecker --check-extern https://sbolstandard.org
reveals the following 10 broken external links:
OK so there are a few different types of external links: 1) For tools/software: I would remove external links pointing to software or tooling websites, as these may go down easily and we can't control it. Instead, most of these tools have publications. I would link to those 2) some of the links posted here ARE links to publications. But some of them I can see them properly when clicked (like for example: https://www.pnas.org/content/109/18/7085 ). Does the link-checker tell you exactly where this link is located in the website?

I have annotated the list above with the parent page links
Thanks
OK this link:
Still works when I click on it. I haven't tested the other.
Perhaps this is just a limitation of the linkchecker
tool, and perhaps the web site is seeing too many requests from my IP address and is cutting me off temporarily. We can manually check these 10 links and those that work can be taken off the list. It's a small enough set to be manageable at this point.
I clicked all the links above, and update the list of broken links, which is now down to 8.
Here is the dispensation of each broken link:
PR #87 introduced a significant restructuring in the repository. Due to this some of the images and links do not show up anymore.
