root pages should redirect to versioned pages #35

matplotlib.org should redirect to matplotlib.org/latest/, which should redirect to matplotlib.org/3.0.2/ or whatever "latest" is. Then people making links can link the versions link and it won't die if we rearrange doc pages (and it will clearly say what the link is).

The proper way to do this would be with an .htaccess file, but GitHub pages doesn't support that.

So far, looks like we can't do this with soft links.

We could do with http-equiv redirect. But that has to be in the header of each file which kind of means having two versions of the docs lying around doing the same thing, but with one version pointing to the canonical version. https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H76.html

Another option is to migrate to readthedocs https://readthedocs.org
