Description

With the recent site update the components are now published at the URL:

http://commons.apache.org/(proper|sandbox|dormant)/commons-<componentname>

That doesn't make very friendly URLs. "commons" is displayed twice, in the subdomain and before the component name. We should at least have:

http://commons.apache.org/(proper|sandbox|dormant)/<componentname>

And for the components in Commons Proper we should drop "proper" from the path such that we are back with the same, short, friendly URLs:

http://commons.apache.org/<componentname>

or

http://commons.apache.org/(sandbox|dormant)/<componentname>
