Open issues

After infrastructure changes on java.net (done or supervised by Oracle), very visible top web sites still consist of hyperlinks that reference old content, or are just broken. Many complains about this come in continuously from the community. I refer to "old" target links as links that go to pages that show the following red warning text above now (put on the site as part of the infrastructure migration): "As the new Java.net infrastructure contains project-level wikis, this main wiki will be shut down in the near future. For wiki page export and general wiki questions please contact the site admin at communitymanager@java.net."

• Implementation of auto rotation of "JUG Member Spotlight"

General: all "old" links contain also old, broken and stale links themselves.
