[seqfan] Websites on OEIS server

[Sven Simon]

Hello together,

Sequence A091443 (multiperfect numbers) has a link to a website from Achim
Flammenkamp  at the University of Bielefeld. I got his permission to save a
copy of his page on the OEIS server as addition to the link already
available at the sequence. How to do it - should I send a saved zipped HTML
with its directory (to whom) or is it possible to do it already as a normal
change of the sequence ? 

Sven

Links to pages that are not refereed, or that are likely to disappear in a
short while, are deprecated (discouraged).  One reason is that they are not
refereed.  Another reason is that every day we lose a lot of links even to
well-established web sites.  Another reason, as you remarked, is that too
often they are just self-advertising.

Universities for example are all the time changing their file tree
structure. And once the student or professor has left the university, forget
it.

With probability close to .95, if you click a link in the OEIS to  - well,
almost any kind of page except OEIS pages, - you will get a "not found"
error.  This is called Link Rot, and there is no cure.

What we try to do is, if the the page is worthwhile, put a copy on the OEIS
server. And ask permission if possible.  Everyone always replies "of course
you have my permission".



Best regards
