--- Comment #21 from Pharos <[email protected]> --- usne.wikimedia.org looks like an excellent option to me. Or even spelling out newengland.wikimedia.org would still be fairly short url. (In reply to varnent from comment #19) > Few quick notes. Ops has already asked AffCom to limit wiki recommendations > outside of one level subdomain requests. This primarily has to do with SSL > management. So they can forward domains to wherever, but the format should > be XYZ.wikimedia.org and not XYZwikimedia.org or wx.yz.wikimedia.org as > those are not supported by our SSL setup. > > US-NE is the acronym AffCom has currently assigned to the New England group. > It's possible a user group could one day appear in Nebraska, or that it > could be confused for Northeast. However, Northeast is within New England - > so I think that's okay. It's true that Nebraska has that state abbreviation, > but statewide level (vs regional) is not preferred right now anyway - so I'm > not terribly concerned. We would like go with their three digit acronym at > that point. So Nebraska would likely be US-Neb or US-NB (USCG) code. > > In any case, the format has been US-XY (see US-DC, US-NYC, and other > proposed user groups such as US-MW and US-CAS) not XYUS - so I would > recommend USXY.Wikimedia.org formatting. I personally think > usne.wikimedia.org is fine as they are unlikely to have competition for the > US-NE acronym for the foreseeable future (I recognize that is not an ideal > statement - but it's what I've got to offer). However, I defer to group > consensus on that. I do not think we will ever find a perfect solution, so I > encourage the group to go with the best option on the table. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
