[Edbrowse-dev] edbrowse.org

The subject sort of says it all.
Should we create the domain edbrowse.org for the project?
Costs about $10 a year.
One could make an A record to point to anyone's machine to host,
me or Chris or a third party or whatever,
or in the interim a cname record could equate

edbrowse.org -> edbrowse.the-brannons.com

This would disconnect the domain and internet references from any of us
as individuals.

Yes, we should do that.
We already went through this process of moving things and changing
references once, when you moved off of Sourceforge.  A real domain would
mean we'd never have to do anything like that again.  The host for the
domain might change over time, but that wouldn't require any changes to
the documentation.

Agreed we should do that. This would allow us to have various subdomains which
may be useful as well.

Yep, please point a cname at edbrowse.the-brannons.com.
My IP hasn't changed in four years, but there are few guarantees in this
world...  By the way, the server is IPv6-capable.
edbrowse.the-brannons.com has both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.

At some point, we should probably do something with lists.edbrowse.org,
but not today.

Go to http://edbrowse.org and you should find a small web page
that ends with "under construction".
This is on my computer, along with the other websites I run.

This is mostly a question for Chris but I'll put it out there in general -
what should I do next?

1. Create some DNS cname records so that edbrowse.org becomes
edbrowse.the-brannons.com or some such.
I like cname records for their efficiency.
I run 6 domains and only one of them has an ip address;
the others all alias to that one.
Type host edbrowse.org and you'll see what I mean.

2. Put in an A record with your ip address.
That is, the ip of whatever machine hosts the site.
Both 1 and 2 assume you have set up your web server to understand
edbrowse.org as a domain.
cname is only within dns; the http still comes into your machine
as edbrowse.org.

3. I continue to host it on my machine, which I don't mind doing
since I am hosting 3 other websites 24 by 7 anyways,
and I give you an ssh account to access the website.
Probably a generic edbrowse user login, and I give the password
to Chris and Adam.

4. Some other hosting service or something else I haven't thought of.

I don't have strong feelings about any of these options.
Chris if you are willing to continue to maintain the site,
then you make the call.
I'll set it up as you please.
