I had no idea there was even an engagement list. Was it announced on
this list?

Why was a redirect put in place? It comes off as very aggressive.

Why not have a placeholder page that has a link to the new page, so that
the history is still accessible? I have no clue how you dug up that
cloud.gnome.org link, how does one look something like that up? How
would a layman researching GNOME's brand history come across that?
Certainly not through Google, I tried!

And what of the OPW intern's work?
