+I would add R=permanent, to ease the work of search engine ( even if I
+have no slight idea if this would really help them, but I assume that
+following http norm is the best we can do ).
+
+Shouldn't we also set some logs to see if we have traffic on this

+
+A single rewriterule is not what gonna take ressources, when compared to
+some others software.

+
+Well, we can, I guess we can host it on alamut.
