The two worries I have about .org is that a) Debian Med in my understanding is not only about Debian, but also about Med, and about how biomedical challenges/routine are/is addressed on Debian derivatives. A .net domain would reflect that a bit more than a .org address does. That is what I meant to imply when I used the term "inviting". b) The .org domain comes constraints for very accessible web pages (https://www.debian.org/devel/website/) . On .net we would be more free - also free to adhere to the same standards as .org - but I sense that we may at some point want to have some JavaScript or so that helps with the browsing through our packages. Or whatever. Going under the .org umbrella may impede our development. We may need both. But I personally, without having heard you all, prefer a mere .net. > > I also think this is the wrong list to discuss this on the Debian Med > list only and direct the thread to [email protected]. Let us start here to learn what we "med people" want and then ask the "blends people" if they agree. Best, Steffen
