Well, there's somethings to consider. * gnus.org is functional and looks quite nice for the most part. * gnus.org is perfectly well browsable with lynx. socha.net is definitly not (it works OK with w3m and w3, though ;-)). * gnus.org loads fast. Although socha.net's connectivity is probably as good as it gets, the PHP news engine behind it is (for the time being) rather slow. * quimby at least is in a company DMZ. socha.net is not. If socha.net is broken into, that's bad luck (and taking into consideration PHP's history, it's not all that unlikely, OpenBSD or not...). Therefore I fully agree with Lars that what's there should stay there. > I know I would and I grok this new-fangled "there is more than one > server in a domain" idea that causes so much trouble for many Internet > users with their shiny new AOL account... I don't see the problem, really. If you want gnus, you'll get it at gnus.org. If you wanted resources, you had to go the gnus.org/resouces/ (IIRC), anyway. No difference. > Anyway, if it /must/ be a distinct machine, I don't know that many > people care (and `resources' is probably a good bet) I think it's ok, too. "community" might also work. > - because you will have a link of `gnus.org', wont you? Redirect /resources/ http://resources.gnus.org/ Insert mod_rewrite at will.
