It's worth noting that we also have the w.org domain, and most requests there will redirect to wordpress.org. So folks can also type open https://w.org/sotw and it'll work. It'll be a little bit slower b/c it's 2 redirects rather than 1, but not really noticeable.
The new State of the World landing page was recently launched. The official URL for the page is: https://wordpress.org/state-of-the-word/
That said, it would be great to implement a redirect from
wordpress.org/sotw→wordpress.org/state-of-the-word. Some hashtags used to promote the event are #sotw and #sotw2023. It is also common for folks to use the acronym instead of typing out the entire phrase and the simplified URL would be easier to type.
