Mmm, now I'm wondering about that: do we really need a domain for that? Could it not simply be a page of freemarker.apache.org like
https://freemarker.apache.org/freemarkerdownload.html
Have we not already forms in the main domain?

The difference is that try.freemarker.org <http://try.freemarker.org/> is a
companion site. So long as the main site is freemarker.apache.org I don’t think
anyone will complain about a companion site.

Hi Ralph,
IIRW openoffice.org is an exception. There are others, when the domain was well
established before entering the incubator, subversion.org comes to mind.
IMO freemarker.org was well established before entering the incubator but not
try.freemarker.apache.org which is quite recent. Hence maybe some caution
needed...

Personally, I don’t see why there should be a problem as long as try.freemarker.org
<http://try.freemarker.org/> is an Apache controlled domain. You aren’t the only
project that has a vanity domain. See www.openoffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org/>
as an example.

Just as a reminder, I'm planning to request try.freemarker.apache.org,
from Infra and then redirect try.freemarker.org to it, because I'm
worried that the IPMC will dislike that we use try.freemarker.org as
the canonical address of the online template tester. It will also use
https and a LetsEncrypt certificate (we can't use the *.apache.org
cert on a VM).
BTW, using a sub-sub domains is a bit extreme. I'm not aware of any
gotchas in out case, but if anyone is aware some, like LetsEncrypt
doesn't support them or something, please stop me! (Also, as this way
we will receive the cookies of freemarker.apache.org, but certainly we
will able to cope with that, if it ever causes a problem.)
Any comments? And do you (especially PPMC members) agree?
