Re: [Fink-devel] domain, need reply from key team at very least
How about finkx.org? Everyone can agree the X is important and is cross culture (unlike hq which didn't go over so well). It's open across the board, as well.

Re: [Fink-devel] domain, need reply from key team at very least
Just to avoid some confusion: none of the various www.fink.* seems to be available. No .net, .com. org, .de, .info, etc. so forget about those! finkhq seems to be something very US centric. I guess HQ stands for "head quarter" ? In any case, not many people from here would associate it with that immediatly. And it wouldn't be particulary easy to memorize either. I'd prefer something like fink-project.org - while it is much longer, everybody who knows fink would easily memorize it. That said, I am still not fully convinced that we need a domain, except maybe for emails, but I don't have a problem if we get one, either. I just don't like finkhq.* much, but that's just my two cents of course, feel free to overrule me there :-) Max -- --- Max Horn Software Developer --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ___ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel

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.
