Problem/Request
Currently the sandbox.openedx.org (Public sanbox) is on the main openedx.org domain. However, for most test and trial deployments of openedx, we're now using the openedx.io domain. Setup the new domain and transition the site to sandbox.openedx.io
Implementation Details
- sandbox.openedx.org should show a intermediat splash page that explains the move and then redirects people to the new sandbox.openedx.io page.
- We'll have to coordinate this change with Abstract who is currently serving this site for us.
Reasoning
- Consistency
- Less risk of cookie issues with the main
openedx.orgsite.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the requested behavior for sandbox.openedx.org and sandbox.openedx.io, then identify who currently serves the site. Coordinate with Abstract on the transition, including the intermediate splash page and redirect. Done means the old domain explains the move and sends visitors to the new sandbox.openedx.io domain without disrupting the existing sandbox.
