If we change it, we want to tell Google & co. about it.  Right
now Google probably penalizes the qemu-project.org website
because it sees it as a duplication of qemu.org (potentially a
non-authorized mirror).

This can be accomplished in at least two ways:

1. (recommended) server-side (301) redirects from qemu.org to
qemu-project.org:

    add something like the above to .htaccess files:

    # wiki/ .htaccess:
    RedirectMatch 301 /.* http://wiki.qemu-project.org/$1

    # / .htaccess
    RedirectMatch 301 /.* http://qemu-project.org/$1

2. Add canonical links to individual pages

    https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139394?hl=en
    http://www.techwiki.ordak.org/index.php?title=How_To_Add_Code_To_All_MediaWiki_Pages

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers.
