Hi Dmitry, I own and pay for the cordova.io domain. When it comes to domains, the general rules within Apache are:
1. cordova.io URLs that point to official Apache resources (e.g. cordova.apache.org) must redirect to the official URL and not mask it. This ensures that the project is recognized as an official Apache project. We do this for cordova.io, docs.cordova.io, and issues.cordova.io 2. Apache prefers to not have the word "apache" in the third-party domain because ownership can be deceiving. cordova.io is okay. apachecordova.io is misleading. For those interested, I'll describe some of the history of cordova.io. During the donation of PhoneGap to Apache, I registered the cordova.io domain. In my naivety, I thought we could use it as the official Apache Cordova domain (CNAME style like Github Page). However, after talking with our Apache mentor, I learned what I stated above (redirect and make it clear that the domain is not apache property). Regardless, I decided to keep the domain around because it's shorter, verbally easier to spread by word-of-mouth (e.g. docs.cordova.io), and cleaner for presentation slide decks. The entire Adobe team has access to the DNS management of the domain. If anyone else on the Apache Cordova project would like to add a subdomain, I'm all for it! Likewise, if you want a subdomain removed, let's talk about i!
