Review links to articles

[dellagustin]

Some of the links are not available anymore.
The original link to Tim O’Reilly, Open Source and OpenGL, response to Matt Feinstein is now redirecting to https://www.oreilly.com/

I suggest we replace the broken links with the latest available snapshots at http://web.archive.org/

Sounds good to me.

• The articles section needs a bit more love indeed. A longer while ago I was talking with @kjstol about restructuring things and adding a few of the academic papers as well. Then life happened as usual ;)

• Still something that would be very welcome. Integration with our social pages and marketing efforts will help.

• As for link health:

  • Replacing with archive.org sounds good to me.
  • Identifying dead links is likely easier using automated tools for it, e.g.
    • https://www.deadlinkchecker.com/
    • https://ahrefs.com/de/broken-link-checker or
    • the Google Search Console. We've got integration for some of our domain, I think I remember @cewilliams created it. I think there's delegation possible as well as regular reports by email.
