@heurtemattes This is fairly urgent as it breaks lots of URLs. Please consider raising priority as many of the links on https://eclipseide.org/release/noteworthy/ are broken and the Eclipse project is getting bug reports about this already.

TL;DR: merge the content of https://github.com/eclipse-platform/www.eclipse.org-eclipse-news into https://github.com/eclipse-platform/www.eclipse.org-eclipse into a new /news directory and this should fix itself.
The issue here is that for reasons of antiquity the Eclipse platform project ended up with 2 sites: e.o/eclipse and e.o/eclipse/news , with the news 'site' being a hack to allow all committers on the various platform related projects to contribute.
While that has worked the newer tooling behind eclipse.dev is driven by the PMI which expects a single 'site' per project.
I may be impatient, but it has been 15 minutes since the news/ was merged into the main repo but I am still get 404 errors. https://github.com/eclipse-platform/www.eclipse.org-eclipse/pull/42#issuecomment-1623771494
Can you have a look and let me know if everything is ok, or if we need to make some changes to the PMI side. As far as I can see the website does seem to sort of know that news is there as https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news redirects to https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news/ but https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/new does not redirect implying the server knows that news is a folder.
Sorry that's on me.
The repo URL in use for the Eclipse TLP(which drives e.*/eclipse/) was still using the Gerrit repo as the source, and that had some very bare bones content in eclipse/news/4.4 which is why is seemed to know that it was a directory, but didn't have the content expected.
I've corrected the PMI and manually updated the live details so everything should now be exactly where it's supposed to be and should stay that way.
