Re: [Openfontlibrary] oflb.org and switching domains
Just because of one person we should change urls? I don't agree whatsoever and its bad SEO tech and bad policy to move that easily. Good to have other domains, but all you need is one clear canonical url and not confuse people.

I personally don't understand why openfontlibrary.com is a good domain for public domain fonts only. Open always has been a word used for *all* OSS licenses. If the person insists on having an OFLB fork, he should consider moving to something like pdfontlibrary or whatever, since visitors will be disappointed if the most used open software licenses can't be used. Second issue, he's free to do with his domain since he owns it, but at least play it nice and don't give it the same name, look and logo as the true OFLB. And always have in big letters on the front page that it's not the same project.

Having font in the domain name is a good boost for our position in search results.
