Description

Search google for "apache thrift". The top link goes to http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/. That site is outdated and not maintained. Clicking on the download link takes you to an older version of thrift (0.5.0). It can be very confusing and has tripped up multiple developers where I work.

http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/ should simply be redirected to the current site http://thrift.apache.org to prevent confusion and have people going to the current website. Using a permanent 301 redirect would be the best as it would tell the search engines that the site has moved.
