    Description

      Many Qt reference documentation topics have broken URLs as Nokia closed down Symbian.org site and it's Wiki. Qt documentation has referred to Symbian.org wiki for many documentation entries. These need to be fixed and alternative documentation sources found (wiki.forum.nokia.com or library.forum.nokia.com).

      I've found at least following pages with broken links but there may be many others:

      http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/quickstart.html
      refers to
      http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Capabilities_(Symbian_Signed)

      http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/symbian-with-qt-introduction.html
      refers to
      http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Platform_Security_%28Fundamentals_of_Symbian_C%2B%2B%29#Self-Signed_Applications

      A search should be made finding all references to "symbian.org" from documentation.

      Lucian Tomuta from Forum Nokia gave following information:
      "
      The [Symbian Foundation] wiki content is being moved to FN (some is already there): see http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Symbian_Foundation_Content_Migration_Project

      The info related to Symbian Signed is already there: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Category:Symbian_Signed

      Obviously all the docs with a Symbian.org link in them must be updated or a redirect scheme must be used.

      [...]if you replace http://developer.symbian.org/wiki with http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/ in the broken URLs you have a big part of the problem solved."
      "

      However not all pages are probably there in Forum Nokia wiki in the identical wiki topic as they were in Symbian Foundation wiki.
