[cfe-dev] "clang.org"

[Yaron Keren]

These ideas and the website are great.

Regarding who links to who and why, consider that  googling for "clang"
leads to http://clang.llvm.org/ as the first result, while
http://clang.org/ isn't
in the first 30  (maybe more) results. This of course may change in the
future but my guess is that google will prefer http://clang.llvm.org/ due
to its many in and out links and content over http://clang.org/ .

We can expect new clang users arriving at http://clang.llvm.org/  rather
than http://clang.org/ .
