Domain name for that Gnus stuff on socha,net

Domain name for that Gnus stuff on socha,net

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

We need a domain name for the tutorials-and-stuff thing.
news.gnus.org is taken, so...  er... resources.gnus.org?

Anybody?

Isn't, er, `www.gnus.org' or `gnus.org' the place most people are going
to look for this?

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...

Anyway, if it /must/ be a distinct machine, I don't know that many
people care (and `resources' is probably a good bet) - because you will
have a link of `gnus.org', wont you?

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 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.

I think it's ok, too. "community" might also work.

<Directory /var/www/htdocs/gnus/>
Redirect /resources/ http://resources.gnus.org/
</Directory>

Insert mod_rewrite at will. Any further questions? ;-)

While Quimby is in Lars' company DMZ, gnus.org, mail.gnus.org, and
www.gnus.org are located in the US, on another server.
