We are talking about different things. I am not after if you get a subdomain or not. That's totally fine. I understand for marketing you want something '$NAME.gnome.org'. Again, totally fine. What I want to understand is what *functionality* you need. So say it in yet another way: Bad example: I can make a $NAME.gnome.org and if you point your browser to it, you get an error message that it cannot find the site. This because I don't setup a website. Could be because I assumed you only wanted some email aliases. Or: I didn't understand your needs for $NAME.gnome.org. Now, I understand you want something like a website, but what functionality the website should have is totally unclear. So what I am requesting is what functionality you're after. This to ensure when it is setup, it does what you thought it would do. > Lets develop the product with minimal effort. is it ok? > what the mater of creating the a subdomain and publishing the content? That is not minimal effort. If I do not get what you want, it'll result in a lot of work on my side to continuously change as you make the requirements of the site known. E.g. maybe I setup the email aliases and you wanted a website. Means a lot of work for me to remove the email aliases configuration and then setup a website. I want to understand *up front* what you're requesting from the sysadmin team. Subdomain is very vague! Website I understand, functionality: no idea. > > I don't get it.

Please re-read my message. Saying subdomain to me is not at all specific. I do not get at all what you want. It is not about setting something up. 'some space'.. I don't get it. Please explain the needs more concretely. -- Regards, Olav -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
