Post re-structure links

[dasanchez]

We should explore ideas on how to address the broken links that resulted from the big handbook re-structuring.

• Leave everything as-is
  • Broken links can be "fixed" on a case-by-case basis
• Add the old structure to redirect to the new structure ("backwards compatible" links)
  • This would result in tons of additional work to keep all pages available
• Update the 404 page to take people to handbook.hypha.coop
  • We can make this a lot more welcoming than it is now
  • https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/creating-a-custom-404-page-for-your-github-pages-site

My take on this: broken links are a fact in the web. If people come to the handbook website using an old (now-broken) link and get a 404 error, they can still look for the page they're after in handbook.hypha.coop

A more descriptive 404 page would be good too. Options for what the 404 page would do:

• Take me straight to handbook.hypha.coop
• Acknowledge a broken link and offer to redirect

Thanks for opening this issue @dasanchez

I created this basic 404 page that acknowledges the broken link and automatically redirects users to the handbook's homepage.

If there is a need for edits on that page, they can be addressed in a new issue.
