I've had a closer look.

- contribute/roadmap: is totally broken once we don't build todo/*.
I find it sad, but acceptable as a temporary solution. If someone
is really worried, we might bother hacking the source page to
replace its text with a line that points to the online version,
when building the bundled offline documentation.

- contribute/*,
doc/advanced_topics/mac_changer,
doc/anonymous_internet/networkmanager,
doc/encryption_and_privacy/secure_deletion,
doc/encryption_and_privacy/truecrypt,
support/known_issues:
have a few links to todo/* and bugs/*.

How about we use [[!tails_todo NAME]] and [[!tails_bug NAME]]
ikiwiki shortcuts to point to the online version of these tickets?
It would be a bit painful, but we'll have to use a similar shortcut
once we've moved to a better task manager, so one can consider it
is a useful training step :p

If we go this way, I fear we forget about it and add more broken
links in the near future, so I suggest we add a check to our build
process that greps for such falsely "internal" links.

- doc/first_steps/bug_reporting, support/found_a_problem: link to
bugs/pending; here also, using an ikiwiki shortcut looks good
enough a temporary solution.

=> I propose we go the ikiwiki shortcuts way to link to the online
version of bugs/* and todo/*, and add the build-time check
suggested above.

Thoughts?

(Deadline if nobody objects: January 26th.)

Cheers,
