Hello again, Seeing there were no respons to my inquiry, I feel obliged to speak out again.
We now live in the year 2012 and the web is more important than ever. As well Vim being more popular than ever. To even impose a questionable limitation for any individuals who wants to join the fun, the awesomeness, the importance of Vim, like making sure they can't access the site without knowing beforehand that you sure be aware to add that www. part before typing vim.com. Which I personally suspect of being a hindering for a lot of people from accessing the site, and/or making it harder for regular users. Comparing writing the two, the www.-less is faster to write. Even the creation of the www. part is to be accounted as an accident[1]. And not designed as a expected implementation for the domain system. I can only once again petition that the DNS part of the Vim project get fixed, as this is to considered as being a flawed configuration, and can't be acknowledged as a "good" design decision. I don't post here to create a bad mood, but to engage and encourage a healthy discussion on parts of the project that needs to be dealt with. And I hope that no one is feeling attacked by my words. If so, I apologize. Sincerely, Birger J. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web#WWW_prefix On Tuesday, May 17, 2011 5:55:17 AM UTC+2, Birger J.
