Right, and the original reason for the long form name was how google
indexed
things.
Okay - so this long name is purely due to historic reasons.
How about we move forward and change it to `d-lang`? So that the name
and domain
match again :)
I am happy to push this, contact the Github support and change links.
Is someone of the core team interested in helping this move?
As mentioned redirects for the repos are automatically created, so the
web page
and git automagically continue to work.
We could fix a specific date & time, just in case something goes wrong.
I'm willing to go forward with that if there's a swell of support for
it. But for consistency's sake it should be dlang, not d-lang.
I think this would be a good thing to do for consistency, but not
critical. d-programming-langauge is not ambiguous. If it can be made to
work so both "groups" point at the same place, we should attempt at some
point.
A couple things though -- we have a lot of automation surrounding
github. We should make sure the major players have their input before
attempting this. I'm thinking Brad and Vladimir? Also, I think an owner
of the github group needs to be pulling the trigger too, so I'm not sure
how much we can offload this duty to Seb.
