The network name is an attempt at branding. The brand must as inclusive as possible for the network to be the most effective.
Branding the network as the fordean.net network is not inclusive if we are shipping off fordean.net subdomains, and many sites don't use them. Branding it as the DeanSpace network is inclusive because we can give out fordean.net subdomains branded as DeanSpace, and brand non fordean.net sites as Deanspace. -Zack -----Original Message----- From: jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2003 2:58 AM To: Zack Rosen Subject: Re: [hackers] Ok, the network naming poll is up > I don't really like fordean.org / net because many sites wont be > running on those sub domains. So there aren't going to be many sites running under the deanspace.org/net either? I'm not getting what we're offering people. DNS is also really the only way we will be able to "emergency service" the "official" sites. You can point springfield.fordean.org to somewhere else, but you wouldn't be able to do that with dean.stlouist.com. Not just policing, but the smooth addition of hundreds of subdomains. Someone has to do it, it's for a campaign, and is integral to our experiment! :) Opportunity Cost, Hobbes, whatever. I think that the namespace is very important and needs to be everywhere. Why is deanspace any better in that regard? JW -- jeff wiegand - electroponics, inc. There's a great deal of talk about loyalty from the bottom to the top. Loyalty from the top down is even more necessary and is much less prevalent. One of the most frequently noted characteristics of great men who have remained great is loyalty to their subordinates. - George Patton
