Snowball stemmer has moved to the new site http://snowballstem.org, I made
a simple patch for master . I'm not sure if it's ok for 9.5.

I have set up a new website for snowball:

http://snowballstem.org/

The content is forked from the old website.

Currently there are some dead internal links I need to fix (to things
like the source code of the stemmers), and the demo page isn't
operational. Please report any other problems.

I'd encourage people to update external links to "the snowball project"
to point to the new site.

Cheers,

Re: Fwd: [Snowball-discuss] New website

I assume this is to replace the old site completely? If so, I think we
should just backpatch it to all supported branches -- it's basically a
bugfix as I understand it. The old site is eventually going out of business
or at least not being properly updated, so we'll eventually end up with
broken links.

Is there any reason not to do that?
