pylons-framework.org isn't bad -- it's easier to read with the dash, IMO, but is a bit long to type. With "pylonshq", it's less to type, but the 's' and 'h' smooshed together at the end hint at an "sh" sound. The eye has to stop on it while you figure out that it really means "pylons-hq". pylons-hq.org would be good. And, as KyleJ points out, with mod_rewrite's help, search engines will very quickly pick up on a new url. Incidentally, I notice that Mason uses the same url pattern as pylons currently does: http://www.masonhq.com/ . Their name doesn't end in an 's' though, so it's a bit easier for the eye to quickly decipher. Not sure why they use the ".com" though. ---John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
