Me. Always been me. (Well, ever since Linux.org.il stopped pointing to
IGLU's site.)
And what are your thought of what you want to do with this domain name?
Exactly what it is right now -- to be a portal to sites that do a better
job than we can. By this, I aim to give all community sites and service
providers equal representation, so that nobody would feel we're hagging
the domain. In fact, I've always stated this at [
http://www.linux.org.il/about ].
If I understood Danny correctly, his sentiment is caused by the fact
there's no 'single point of contact' for Linux on the "official" domain.
Indeed, Linux.org.il doesn't give out that feeling. However, if we flip
it around, that'll be misleading to make the community appear different
than it really is -- loads of loosely-connected projects who do not
report to each other and do not adhere to any common planning, and turn
out with stuff we all use day-to-day. Red Hat or Oracle web sites may
radiate this 'single point of contact' feel to increase their business,
but we shouldn't feel any inferiority complex regarding the big boys and
their sites. (You know, the kind of sites which emphasize
outside-leading links -- cause, why would you want to go anywhere else?).
BTW, surprisingly, even though the site has low goals and requires
little investment in content, I've hardly had contributing authors
coming up to me with an informative two-paragraph piece in Hebrew on
their favorite distro.
