Well here are my 00.18 € and please keep in mind, that this is a
personal opinion do NOT be offended.

finkhq.de was my first though since both Chris and Max are from de it
seems only right to honor them and there country.

Personally I HATE how most companies abuse the domain policies. The
Fink server nor Project is completely located in germany and therefore
using a .de domain would only abuse the standards further. It really
does not matter that Max is from Germany as long as the Project itself
is not fully located, including the server, you should not use a .de
domain (and yes I know 99% of the .de domains aren't following this
standard).

 or finkhq.com it we
want to be in the .com

We aren't 'com'mercial so taht should be out of the question.

 I think .org is avail to,

In my humble opinion that is the only viable choice. We are an
"organisation" in a way, yet not even that would fully apply.

I talked to rand on irc
and he is willing to host it and I'm willing to pay reg for the .org or
.com please let me know what you guys think ASAP, I think the core
devel
team getting @finkhq.(com|org|de) address would be a good asset.

I did offer that as well. I am also still talking to the fink.info
owner and they do not seem too reluctant on sponsoring the domain.
Neither money nor resources seem to be the issue but the inability to
decide on a possible domain name.

Personally I dislike finkhq.(), because I do not identify myself with
the appended hq.
Someone who knows English fairly well will be able to guess that it
stands for Head Quarters, yet everyone else only sees two strange
characters appended.

I know one should never shed critique without offering a better
solution. I have no better solution but I know that I will go and
register

finkdocu.org
finkdevel.org

pretty soon. docu for a domain which is virtual and only hosts
documentation
devel for a virtual domain which holds all necessary info and news for
Developers.
