Drupalcon redirects

The current setup on the drupalcon domain redirects appears to be
http://www.drupalcon.org - 301 redirect to -> http://drupalcon.org - 302 redirect to ->http://szeged2008.drupalcon.org/

While this is not incorrect as such it raise two primary SEO issues.

Firstly a 302 will not properly pass pagerank, so its not properly helping the SEO for http://szeged2008.drupalcon.org/ particularly as previously it had different content, this is actually a dangerous thing to do as every few months you redirecting to new content on a new subdomain and saying its the same thing.

Even more importantly doing the temp 302 and then moving it again for the next one is really not sensible in terms of gaining the maximum from the SEO setup.

Ideally what you need to do is setup some form of holding page on http://drupalcon.org that links / lists the subdomains that the drupalcons are on, this way that holding page(s) will gain rank and pass it appropriately to the relevant subdomains as and when they are created. Making sure that the subdomains all link back will ensure that over time it will have significant value to pass when needed.
