Fix links

[ju-sh]

Fixed some links.

• Updated several links to haskell wiki.
• Changed some http links to https.
• Changed link to page with info about IRC to https://wiki.haskell.org/IRC_channel
• Changed link to pipermail archives to https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/

To do

Subreddit link

Subreddit link in community.md file is for old reddit. Can that be changed to the new version?

Gmane

The Gmane link is no longer working.

Seems it's not there now as mentioned in issues like this and this.

Maybe it should be removed? Unless an alternative can be found?

Hakyll

README.md still mentions Hakyll.

Does the site still use it after the move to jekyll? If not, maybe that can be removed as well?

The pipermail archive is the best alternative we have I think.

Linking to old.reddit has the advantage that it can be used without proprietary JS—or, indeed, any JS.

I think we're only using Jekyll at this point, so that can probably be removed as well.

The rest of it looks good to me; thanks!

And from what could be found from here, it looked as if Jekyll does not produce a _cache/ directory while caching output. If that's the case, maybe we can remove _cache/ from the .gitignore file?

I suppose the .jekyll-cache takes care of caching in Jekyll, but wasn't sure.

My bad, I forgot to update all the README after changing to jekyll. I'll check it later and update it, if you don't want to test it. I guess we just use the defaults, as GitHub takes care of the rest

@TheMC47 I was just nosing around.

Don't even know enough of Jekyll or anything to test it. :-D

You guys have done great work transiting the whole thing to Jekyll without breaking anything and we are enjoying the benefits.

I was just hoping to learn a thing or two about Jekyll in between while also trying to help :-)

Any bit of help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot! We were hoping to encourage contributions since all people need to do is update markdown

You're right about that, the _cache isn't needed in .gitignore, and jekyll builds to _site. These were leftovers from when I experimented with hakyll and forgot to clean things up

[ju-sh]

I'll go ahead and remove _cache/ from .gitignore then.

This is awesome, thanks a lot! We have some good fist issues that you might want to check out here, some of them don't require any Haskell like xmonad/xmonad-contrib#160. I'd be happy to see a contribution there! 🎉
