[development] api.drupal.org is annoying.

[Nick Lewis]

Just some useful info regardless of api.drupal.org

To do a search engine friendly redirect of ANY drupal site, use an htaccess file that follows this pattern. 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^drupaldocs\.org [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://api.drupal.org/$1 [R=301,L]


It will automatically redirect every page in the site (to see it in action, watch the url when you type in http://nicklewis.smartcampaigns.com/node/846 ). 
Failure to do a redirect like this is going to badly affect api.drupal.org's google rankings. 

Best,
